Fris Vodka

Let me start this one by saying I have this vodka on hand at every party or event I bartend. That being said let the review begin.

Fris is an incredibly mix friendly vodka. In fact, Fris is the best mixing vodka I have ever used or found. That title was originally held by UV vodka.

Fris is different than most, in fact I believe all, vodka's primarily due to its distillation process. While most vodka's use heat to separate the alcohol from the impurities (fossil oils) Fris uses a freezing technique so that the impurities freeze and are easily extracted. Fris is also great when making infusions. Infusions are made by combining fruit with vodka. I will go into Infusions more in a weekly update, but lets just say for now when done right are very nice.

Fris does have a downside, it does not have much character as a stand alone spirit. Fortunately for Fris that was not the market they intended on pleasing.

Conclusion: Fris is cheap (about $20), mixes amazingly well, and goes down very smooth. A 9.5 out of 10.

We couldn't agree more.

This stuff makes for a FANTASTIC screwdriver. We can put four shots into a 20oz glass, use crushed ice, and some premium orange juice, and you cannot taste the vodka much. That which you can is a great flavor.
