An article in Arizona Central let me know about yet another intriguing vodka flavor. Arizona High Spirits makes prickly-pear flavored vodka. The vodka has shown up in a drink called the Native Arizonan at the Westin Kierland Resort & Spa in Phoenix. it features the prickly pear vodka and a touch of agave nectar. High Spirits is also working on a mesquite smoke flavored small batch whiskey. Anyone tasted this stuff? I'm curious but I am pretty sure it's an Arizona-only thing.

this stuff is fantastic. i tasted it on a trip to flagstaff--it's incredibly easy to drink, but definitely needs a mellow mixer.

I tried this in a martini. It was at Black Barts Steak House in Flagstaff. It had this vodka and chambord. I loved it immediately. I'm going to try to get our local store to purchase this. We live in NH - so not easy to get. I would love to try it over ice!!

This is by far the best Vodka I have ever tasted. I have had it over the rocks, and with chambord; both were exceptional. Although I have not been able to find it in California yet. Hopefully the distributor will get a move on and get this stuff out to stores soon.

I have family in Phoenix and they brought some back with them on a visit and I was instantly hooked. This is fantastic and absolutely my favorite vodka. So far I haven't found anyplace in NY that sells it, but I hope that changes soon.

This is an outstanding vodka! My wife and I bought a bottle on a trip to Phoenix which we took home with us to Washington State. I'm here on your blog because I was looking for it online -- I want to order more! The tastiest vodka ever, and that is saying something ...
