FIVE OF THE BEST FLAVOURED VODKAS

1 Absolut Citron, Sweden

£18-£25/70cl Widely available

Launched in 1988, Citron was the second flavoured vodka from iconic Swedish label Absolut and has since become its biggest seller. Its fame was assured when it became the vodka of choice for the Cosmopolitan cocktail, which flew off. With a base of Swedish winter wheat, the palate is smooth and creamy with ripe Amalfi lemon and lemon zest flavours and a spicy, lemon tart finish. Clean and crisp, it obviously tastes great in a Cosmo, but fans of citrus drinks should try it in a Lemon Drop Martini too, shaken with lemon juice and triple sec. 40%
