A Mediterranean Summer in a Vodka Bottle
Cîroc has always been the odd one out in vodka — distilled from grapes in an eau-de-vie style rather than grain or potato, which gives it a lighter, subtly fruitier base than almost anything else on the shelf. Limonata takes that base and aims it squarely at Capri: bright Southern-Italian lemon, a tart lime edge, and the drink the brand built it around — the spritz. It lands deliberately lower in proof than standard Cîroc, so the citrus reads as juice rather than spirit.
Tasting Notes
Brisk, newly-picked lemon with tart lime on the nose; the palate opens with an invigorating burst of lemon tartness and sweetness balanced by lime juice and zest, with the grape base lending a smooth, slightly creamy backbone. The finish is clean and citrus-driven, fading into soft sweetness.
How to Enjoy
Build the Limonata spritz: pour over ice, top with soda, finish with a lemon wheel. It also slots into any vodka lemonade or a long citrus highball — a warm-weather, poolside bottle through and through.

Like all Cîroc, it starts as a grape-based spirit — Mauzac Blanc and Ugni Blanc grapes distilled five times in France — then infused with Italian lemon and citrus flavors.
Is Ciroc Limonata a liqueur or a vodka?
It is a flavored vodka: the grape-vodka base carries natural citrus flavoring rather than the sugar of a liqueur.
What cocktails work with Ciroc Limonata?
Spritzes and highballs first — soda and a lemon twist over ice — plus anywhere a vodka lemonade or citrus vodka would go.
