Product details
Ketel One Oranje 70cl is a Dutch orange-flavoured vodka at 40% ABV, made by infusing Ketel One wheat vodka with the essence of Valencia and mandarin oranges. The Valencia fruit brings juiciness, and the mandarin adds a floral, blossom-like softness. Its name nods to orange, the national colour of the Netherlands, where the Nolet Distillery makes it in Schiedam. This orange vodka suits anyone who likes ripe, rounded citrus in long drinks rather than sharp zest. Wodka Company dispatches Ketel One Oranje from London to customers anywhere in the UK.
Oranje tasting notes
- Nose: Sweet orange peel, mandarin segments and a hint of orange blossom.
- Palate: Fresh and fruity, with juicy orange on a crisp, clean texture.
- Finish: Medium length and zesty, with a gentle floral echo.
The citrus feels ripe rather than sharp, but this flavoured vodka is not syrupy or liqueur-sweet.
How to serve Ketel One Oranje
Serve it chilled over ice in a rocks glass, or use it to give orange depth to long drinks. The mandarin side works with rich and savoury food: roast duck, aged Gouda, a ham and cheese board or a square of dark chocolate after dinner. It is a cheerful choice for spring brunches and summer barbecues, and a festive one at Christmas.
What to mix with Ketel One Oranje
- Oranje and Ginger: 50 ml over ice in a highball, topped with 150 ml ginger ale and finished with a slice of orange and a squeeze of lime.
- Oranje Tonic: 50 ml over ice in a balloon glass with 150 ml light tonic water and a dried orange wheel.
- Oranje Old Fashioned: 50 ml stirred over ice with 5 ml sugar syrup and 2 dashes of orange bitters, garnished with a wide strip of orange peel.
How it compares
Against its sibling Ketel One Citroen, which is sharp and lime-edged, Oranje is rounder and more fragrant. Grey Goose L'Orange is drier and more driven by peel oil, whereas Ketel One Oranje leans towards ripe, juicy citrus thanks to its Valencia and mandarin oranges. Both bottles share the same 40% ABV, so the choice comes down to zest versus fruit.
Good to know
Ketel One comes from the Nolet Distillery in Schiedam, a town long associated with Dutch genever. On King's Day, 27 April, much of the Netherlands dresses in orange, which makes this 70cl bottle a natural choice for a Dutch-themed gathering or a gift for friends with Dutch roots.
Frequently asked questions
What does Ketel One Oranje taste like?

Ketel One Oranje makes an easy Oranje Spritz: 40 ml over ice in a wine glass with 75 ml prosecco and 50 ml soda water, finished with an orange slice. A Screwdriver made with freshly squeezed orange juice is another simple option.
What is the difference between Ketel One Oranje and Grey Goose L'Orange?
