For many, the idea of preflavored vodkas can present somewhat of a quandary.  Is this vodka of any real quality? What is it actually flavored with? Is the flavoring real or artificial? Is it going to be too sweet?  These questions can present a barrier between the consumer and product, and Texas-based distiller, Western Son, clearly understands this.  Western Son’s approach is remarkably simple: make award-winning flavored vodka using only natural, real ingredients. Here are some of their most outstanding offerings and a couple of recipes to get you started on the path to getting reacquainted with the concept of flavored vodka.
