Even though we’re still freezing through the winter, I’m already planning for the summer. A great way to think of the sun and summer fun is with a colada.
Distiller’s Notes:
The CÎROC Summer Colada is a rich tasting spirit made with vodka from French grapes, finished in a tailor-made copper pot still in Southern France.
This vodka is infused with a blend of coconut, pineapple and other natural flavors.

Food Pairing:
Fresh fruit, Pasta, Chicken, and Salmon.
