Nicolaus Melon Vodka

Nicolaus Melon Vodka fruity vodka flavours you need to try the three drinkers

Staying in Poland, check out Vestal Black Cherry Vodka. The potato vodka base that Vestal is renowned for brings a creaminess with which luscious black cherry is added to.

It’s rich, dark, and sweet but without the sickliness that some cherry liqueurs come with. There’s honestly so many great serves for this, but after trying it on the rocks, it’s delicious with lemonade or cola for drinkers with a sweeter tooth.
