Ketel One Lemondrop Martini — 375ml | 25% ABV
The "Bar-Quality" Ready-to-Serve Cocktail This is a premium, pre-mixed expression from Ketel One’s "Cocktail Collection." It combines the signature smooth, 100% wheat Ketel One Vodka with natural lemon flavors and a touch of sweetness to replicate a professional Lemondrop Martini. Unlike low-ABV "malt beverages," this is a high-proof spirit-based cocktail designed for those who want a bar-standard drink without the need for multiple ingredients or a shaker.
Craftsmanship and Preparation The base spirit is distilled in copper pot stills at the Nolet Distillery in the Netherlands. For this RTS version, the proof is dialed to 25% ABV (50 Proof), which is the "sweet spot" for maintaining the vodka’s structural backbone while allowing the citrus notes to remain bright and refreshing.
