The Judges' Favorite of the Range
At the Bartender Spirits Awards 2022, Orange Blossom took Silver with 87 points — the strongest score of any Uncle Ed's expression that year — with judges noting bright citrus, floral hints and a full-bodied mouthfeel; the brand also reports a Gold at the PR%F Awards 2024. The name nods to the grove, but the recipe is citrus fruit through and through: sweet mandarin and tangy tangerine, lifted by orange zest. Like the rest of the line it comes from Boise, Idaho, where the Kerpa family's vodka project now continues with Common Kings and the Kina'ole Foundation.

Tasting Notes
Nose: Light, tangy orange with floral hints. Palate: Tangerine and mandarin with lemon-lime brightness and orange zest; balanced sweetness and a fuller body than most flavored vodkas. Finish: Clean citrus, softly sweet.
How to Enjoy
A natural in a citrus Martini or a Creamsicle-style serve with vanilla and soda, and a brightener for any vodka sour. Chilled over ice with an orange twist, it drinks almost like a bottled cocktail.
