St. George Green Chile Vodka is a flavored vodka produced by St. George Spirits in California, U.S., and bottled at 40% ABV. It is made with five varieties of fresh California peppers -- jalapeños, serranos, habaneros, and red and yellow bell peppers -- along with lime peel and cilantro. Per the brand, the nose shows fresh green chiles and vegetal notes, the palate offers cilantro and ripe green pepper with a hint of lime and the finish carries a soft, lingering heat. The vodka is distilled in copper pot stills using vapor infusion for the cilantro, with separate infusions of the other peppers blended before filtration, resulting in a light green tint. It is designed for cocktails like Bloody Marys, Moscow Mules, Margaritas or can be sipped over ice. A bottle retails for around $29.
This is a straightforward product, although it’s decidedly well-made, showcasing everything it says it will save for the habanero, which never really makes its expected, mouth-searing introduction. Basically, though, I’m fine with that.
