Kai Vodka

Filed under: Spirits

The claim that Kai Vodka is the first lychee vodka might be a bit of a stretch, but the new line from Hawaii businessman and restaurateur Marcus Bender is the first one that is rice-based. Kai Vodka is made in Vietnam and comes in both standard and lychee flavors. The rice-based beverage is not sake because although both are rice based, sake is brewed, while vodka is distilled. According to an article in the Honolulu Star Bulletin, Kai vodkas is made from Yellow Blossom Rice which is grown only in the Red River Delta of northern Vietnam. It is pot-distilled and transferred to a column-still where it is redistilled twice. The 750 milliliter bottle is under $30 and the brand is making its debut in Hawaii in June before extending out to the rest of the United States.

26,000 Vodka

Believe it or not, 26000 Vodka is made with "pristine paleowater that is 260 centuries old" - hence the name. Of course, Earth has pretty much the exact same amount of water as it did millions of years ago, so that might not be as impressive a feat as it sounds. That being said, the ultra-premium vodka in question is made with very pure water that allows for an exceptionally smooth taste. All of it is made by hand in New Zealand, carefully distilled in small batches to ensure quality. The basic vodka from the brand is called Crystalline, and they make two flavors with organic fruit infusions - Raspberry & Lemon and Lychee - that are lightly tinted for a distinctive look. The vodkas retail for $47 US ($68 NZD) per bottle .

Lichido

If your tastes run to the exotic, the new Lichido might be just the thing to tempt your palate. It is a blend of premium vodka, flavored with lychees, guava and kissed with peach, all blended together into a balanced drink and packaged in a stunning bottle. It has only recently been introduced to the US, but has already made a splash with drinkers at the recent New York Culinary Festival and several other NYC events. With all the New York appearances, it's no surprise that that was the first market that Lichido was brought in to, but it is available for $28 at Astor Wines and will be more widely available later this year.
