Product details
Grey Goose L'Orange 70cl is an orange-flavoured French vodka from Grey Goose, made by adding natural orange essence to the brand's wheat vodka and bottled at 40% ABV. The flavour comes from citrus oil in the peel, so it tastes like freshly grated zest rather than orange squash. Bottled at the same strength as unflavoured Grey Goose, it keeps a clear vodka character beneath the fruit. It is a handy orange vodka for anyone who mixes Cosmopolitans, citrus martinis or simple highballs at home. Wodka Company delivers Grey Goose L'Orange to UK addresses from its base in north London.
Grey Goose L'Orange tasting notes
- Nose: Vivid orange zest and a gentle hint of orange blossom.
- Palate: Crisp and clean, with bright citrus oil over the soft sweetness of wheat.
- Finish: Medium length and zesty, with a faint, pleasant bitterness from the peel.
It pours crystal clear and stays dry in style, with only the natural roundness of the wheat spirit.
How to serve Grey Goose L'Orange
Store it in the freezer and pour 25 ml measures into small chilled glasses for neat sipping, or use it as the base of a citrus cocktail. Rich food brings out the zest: try it with duck pâté, smoked salmon, a slice of orange and almond cake or a square of dark chocolate. It also makes a bright aperitif before a festive dinner with friends.

How it compares
Set against Grey Goose Le Citron, L'Orange is warmer and rounder, while the lemon version is sharper and more floral. In the match-up of Grey Goose L'Orange vs Ketel One Oranje, the Dutch bottle blends Valencia and mandarin oranges for a juicier, more fragrant style, whereas the French one is peel-driven and a little drier. All three are bottled at 40% ABV.
Good to know
Grey Goose is owned by Bacardi, and L'Orange uses the same wheat vodka as the brand's plain bottle. A 70cl bottle kept in the freezer stays pourable and ready for cocktails. It makes a stylish present for anyone who enjoys orange-led drinks, especially with a bottle of tonic and a bag of fresh oranges.
Frequently asked questions
Is Grey Goose L'Orange sweet?
No, Grey Goose L'Orange is a dry flavoured vodka rather than an orange liqueur such as triple sec. Its flavour comes from orange peel oil, so it tastes zesty and fragrant, with only the gentle natural sweetness of the wheat spirit underneath.
Where does the orange flavour in Grey Goose L'Orange come from?
The citrus character of Grey Goose L'Orange comes from natural orange essence made with concentrated oil from the peel of fresh oranges grown in Florida and Brazil. Using peel oil rather than juice gives a bright zest flavour instead of a sweet, juicy one.
Can I use Grey Goose L'Orange in a Cosmopolitan?
Yes, Grey Goose L'Orange makes a rounder, orange-forward Cosmopolitan. Shake 40 ml with 15 ml triple sec, 30 ml cranberry juice and 10 ml fresh lime juice, then strain into a chilled coupe and flame or twist a piece of orange peel over the top.
