Tips and Tricks
- Cinco Vodka is made from 100% American wheat, and has a bit of mid-palate sweetness. This is naturally occurring, as we don't add sugar to our vodka.
- Use exact measurements when making the Fleur de Lis. It's a delicate balance, and just a fraction of an ounce one way or the other can alter the taste profile.
- There is a lot of regional and temporal variation within fresh squeezed citrus, and you may need to tweak based on the tartness or sweetness of limes (for example).
