Grey GooseEssences Strawberry & Lemongrass, 30% ABV, 70cl / 700ml, Natural Flavoured Vodka Spirit Drink, Made with Grey Goose Vodka, Infused With Real Fruits & Botanical Essences

The strength of this Grey Goose Essences Strawberry & Lemongrass Vodka based drink is in the balance between its strength and flavour. At 30% ABV this drink isn’t without an alcoholic kick but at the same time the subtleties of the natural strawberry and lemongrass can be appreciated together with the smoothness of the vodka.Designed to be drunk with a mixer like tonic this can be a long refreshing drink. However, because of the subtleties of the two flavours, I prefer to drink it neat over ice rather than drown them out. The choice of strawberry and lemongrass as flavours is interesting in that the strawberry delivers a hint of berry and sweetness which contrasts nicely with the sharper, more citrussy, lemongrass. The flavours also seem authentic rather than synthetic as you'd expect in a drink costing around £38 a bottle at the time of this review.Overall, this is an interesting drink which offers a good balance between alcoholic strength and subtlety of its two natural flavours.

Full disclosure - I received for free under the Amazon Vine review program.The bottle arrived on time, was well packaged etc. etc. I stored the bottle overnight in the fridge, so these comments are based on drinking it at that temperature, without any mixer or ice.The initial hit of strawberry flavour is quickly taken over by the lemon grass, but remains in the background. I quite like bison grass vodka, and this one has a similar taste to that. Its alcoholic content is fairly low at 30%, which is fine for a drink like this - it doesn't drown out the other flavours and adds to the smoothness.The price is OK for a premium vodka, but can't be considered a bargain (roughly twice the price of bison grass vodka).

I do like to try new drinks so I was happy to test this Grey Goose Strawberry and Lemongrass drink. It comes in an attractive 70cl bottle. It arrived very well packaged, and so was not damaged during shipping. I mixed this with some Elderflower tonic water and ice. It is a lovely tasting drink, light and refreshing and will be great for the summer months. I really like this and will be drinking it outside on warm summer evenings. Not the cheapest drink at £38.49 but used sparingly it should last some time.

Nice flavour! Grey goose has always been amazing and this didn’t disappoint. Had a nice light fruity taste with a hint of citrus! Very nice
