Citrus

Lemon and lime lead here, but the more useful thing is what this one refuses to do. It stays crisp instead of turning sweet, which is exactly where most flavored zero proof spirits come apart, sliding into cordial territory the moment they lose the bite alcohol used to provide. Staying dry is what keeps it working as a base rather than as a mixer in its own right. Underneath sits the same Deeside water every Spirits of Virtue brand is built on, rising in the Cairngorm Mountains close to Balmoral Castle and running through highland glens down to the Scottish coast. Vegan friendly and 0.0% ABV. Treat it as a shortcut. Anywhere a citrus vodka would go, this covers the same ground, so soda and lime, a zero proof cosmopolitan, or a tall glass with tonic all come together without squeezing fresh fruit to give them flavor.
