Deep Eddy Ruby Red Grapefruit Vodka

Product Description

Deep Eddy Ruby Red Vodka: Texas Vodka Made with Real Grapefruit Juice

Deep Eddy Ruby Red is a flavored vodka made with real ruby red grapefruit juice, lightly sweetened with pure cane sugar for a tart, refreshing taste. It starts with Deep Eddy’s Original Vodka, a corn-based vodka distilled ten times in a column still, and it’s bottled at 35% ABV (70 proof). The brand says it’s gluten-free because it’s distilled from corn. The nose is fresh ruby red grapefruit, the palate is sweet and tart with a hint of natural grapefruit bitterness, and the finish is crisp and light.

The brand’s line is that it’s “more affordable than an actual ruby, but just as pretty and definitely more drinkable.” It’s made for simple drinks: pour it over ice with club soda and a grapefruit wedge, make a Ruby Red Mule or a Grapefruit Collins, or mix the brand’s Ruby Paloma with 1 ounce Ruby Red vodka, 1 ounce silver tequila, 1.5 ounces ruby red grapefruit juice, half an ounce of lime juice, a quarter ounce of simple syrup, and 2 ounces of club soda, with a grapefruit twist. Per ounce, it has 68 calories and 3 grams of sugar.

Deep Eddy is named for Deep Eddy Pool in Austin, the oldest spring-fed swimming pool in Texas, and is part of Heaven Hill Brands.
