All natural color from easy to make Charred Citrus and Beet juice makes these Vodka Tonics extra special and crazy delicious.

I have to confess my undying love for charred citrus. I mean it’s just so gorgeous.

Case and point. Vodka and tonics, not so much, actually.

Vodka just really isn’t my thing because I don’t LOVE the flavor of it, and I feel like most vodka drinks (besides the Moscow mule, love those) are really sweet, and that’s not my jam either.

These charred citrus and beet infused vodka tonics, however…now these I can get on board with. Slightly smokey, just enough sweet and flavor to take off the taste of alcohol and GORGEOUS, amirite?
