Ketel One Cucumber Mint 750ml

I usually find flavored vodkas too sweet, but the balance of cucumber and mint in this 750ml bottle is subtle and refreshing, not cloying. It mixes beautifully in a simple soda with a lime wedge.

The cucumber flavor is surprisingly fresh, not fake or syrupy like some other flavored vodkas I've tried, and it mixes beautifully with just a splash of tonic. The 750ml bottle has lasted me through several weekends of cocktails without losing its crispness in the fridge.

The mint comes through clean on the finish, not at all like a candy or mouthwash, and the cucumber keeps it refreshing instead of syrupy. It's smooth enough to sip over ice, and the 750ml bottle has lasted me through several rounds of mixing.
