Meyer lemon vodka

From WikiCover

Meyer lemons originated in China and were brought to the U.S. in 1908 by Frank Meyer, an agricultural inspector. They are thought to be a cross between a regular lemon and a mandarin orange. Charbay is the only Vodka that uses Meyer Lemons to create the unique and authentic flavors enjoyed by vodka lovers.

Charbay brings in whole fresh fruit directly from the orchards within 24 hours of picking.

Charbay Meyer Lemon Vodka has been a best seller since 1998, with the newest batch hitting retail shelves and cocktail lists this month.

Restaurants throughout the country have designed signature drinks around the Charbay Meyer Lemon Vodka.

Charbay retains the distinction of using exclusively whole, fresh ingredients. Marko shreds whole Meyer Lemons to extract flavor and color; that extraction is integrated into Charbay's award winning Clear Vodka. What you taste is 100% real freshly picked Meyer Lemons, not so-called natural flavors.
