Grey Goose Vodka
You've come to the right place if you're looking for a crisp, clean vodka. Grey Goose Vodka is exactly that!
Let's learn how Grey Goose came to be, what makes it unique, all they have to offer, and how to make some delicious martinis!
Grey Goose
Nearly thirty years ago, Grey Goose launched into the vodka industry.
What happens when you take Sidney Frank and the Maître de Chai, otherwise known as the Cellar Master, come together to make a delicious vodka? You get Grey Goose Vodka.
In 1997, Sidney Frank decided he wanted to join the vodka game. With the help of François Thibault, Grey Goose was born. Growing up with a father who grew wine, François Thibault was fascinated with the world of spirits. François grew up to be a Cognac cellar master but wanted to try out his talents in vodka-making.
It's safe to say he succeeded because Thibault "still oversees every step of the unique journey from field to bottle."
Vodka
There are many unique traits to Grey Goose Vodka. Grey Goose is made in France using "Picardie wheat and water from our natural limestone well in Gensac-La-Pallue." The combination of the soft winter wheat and the pure Gensac spring water makes Grey Goose the vodka it is. The natural spring water makes the vodka exceptional!
Grey Goose strives to use the best ingredients to give customers the best vodka possible with unparalleled quality. Grey Goose claims that when you use the best ingredients, you only need a single distillation. That's right! Grey Goose is only distilled once. Most vodkas, if not all, are distilled anywhere from two to six times, sometimes even more than that.
A great-tasting vodka is fresh, crisp, and delicious, and that's the experience Grey Goose gives you.
Grab a bottle and taste for yourself! It's gluten-free, delicious straight or in a cocktail, and exactly what a vodka should be!
Flavored Vodka
A crisp, classic vodka is excellent, but flavored vodka is great for spicing up your vodka game.
If you're looking for a fresh, flavored vodka to make some fantastic cocktails, Grey Goose has just the options for you!
First up, we have Grey Goose L'Orange Vodka. It is the perfect orange-flavored vodka to add the perfect amount of zest and freshness to your day.
Next, we have Grey Goose Citron Vodka. For those who want something zesty but would prefer something other than orange flavoring, Citron is a great option! The lemons that give you this Citron flavor grow in France's "world-renowned Menton region."
Finally, we have Grey Goose La Poire Vodka. There's something deliciously fresh about pears, and this vodka encapsulates that freshness. Modeled after the Anjou pear in France, Grey Goose La Poire is crisp, round, and perfectly balanced between fruity and floral.

Cocktails
Who's ready for some vodka cocktails?
Let's make a Classic Vodka Martini and a Dirty Martini for good measure!
A Classic Vodka Martini
Let's start with a Classic Martini recipe. There's nothing like a crisp, cold Martini. Here's what you'll need:
Instructions
Prepare by placing your martini glass in the freezer to chill.
Add your Grey Goose Vodka, dry vermouth, orange bitters, and a handful of fresh ice in a cocktail shaker. Shake until your mixture is thoroughly chilled.
Strain into your chilled martini glass. Garnish with a lemon twist. Serve and enjoy!

A Dirty Vodka Martini
Classic Martinis' are great and all, but there's something about a dirty martini. If you're an olive lover, this is the perfect cocktail for you! Here's what you'll need:
-
2 oz Grey Goose Vodka
-
Olive brine
-
Olives
Instructions
(A few notes: The amount of olive brine is up to you. The more olive brine you add, the dirtier the martini will be. Start with 1/2 oz to 3/4 oz and see how you feel from there. Many people also decide to add dry vermouth to their Dirty Martini. The choice is entirely up to you and your preference.)
