Review: Deep Eddy Lime Vodka
From the folks that brought you Deep Eddy Lemon Vodka comes Deep Eddy Lime Vodka, made with real limes and, well, tasting like real limes.
This vodka — now part of the Heaven Hill empire — is tart, sour stuff, made with real lime in a way that shows. The nose smells just like fresh-pressed lime juice, the palate following suit: incredibly tart and sour, fresh lime coming across like a margarita sans agave… well, and tequila. There’s no doubt this delivers fully on the promise of lime-flavored vodka — there’s really nothing more to it, it’s pure lime start to finish, backed up by an ample vodka-fueled heat. Clean, acidic, citrus-heavy finish, and that’s that.
But what then to do with it? Mix with soda or ginger, perhaps? Margaritas without lime juice or (gasp!) tequila?
Discuss amongst yourselves.
70 proof.
