We love our friends’ orange grove so much, we distilled a vodka that takes you there. St. George California Citrus Vodka celebrates the passion and dedication required to grow exquisite oranges. The oranges we get from Lindcove Ranch are without peer. With the floral nose of bergamot, juicy flavor of Valencia and soft spice of Seville, our California Citrus Vodka is so evocative, it transports us to the groves where they were grown.

This zesty, mouthwatering vodka is beautifully aromatic and full of fresh flavor. Spirits are our form of self-expression, and California Citrus is our ode to the exceptional oranges of our home state’s storied central valley.
The key to California Citrus is the perfectly grown fruit we use to make it. We have been working with Lindcove Ranch’s Kirkpatrick family for years because they share our passion for obsessive attention to detail. The fruit they grow in the San Joaquin Valley is wonderfully expressive, showcasing juicy sweetness, perfumed aromatics, and a satisfying tang that has to be tasted to be believed. Using their Valencia, Seville and bergamot oranges gives us a complete olfactory portrait of this nuanced fruit.
Making California Citrus Vodka fills every inch of our 65,000-square-foot distillery with the evocative aromas of an orange grove. We distill the fresh Valencia, Seville, and bergamot oranges separately so we can focus on highlighting the unique characteristics of each with the precision of our custom Arnold Holstein stills. In blending the three distillates together, we’re able to account for natural changes in flavor that happen from season to season, creating a vodka that is fresh, balanced, and consistent.
St. George California Citrus Vodka has astonishingly clear citrus flavor. Redolent of the whole citrus plant, it leads with a tart, almost lemony scent on the nose, which gives way to a juicy burst of orange on the tongue before finishing with warm peel and soft spice.
With its bright aromatics, California Citrus works perfectly as a Spritz. Its confident tang adds refreshing complexity to a Vesper. Shake it up with fresh citrus and egg white for a nostalgic, spirited take on a Creamsicle. And if you like Cosmopolitans as much as we do, we’re willing to bet California Citrus makes the best Cosmo you’ve ever had.
