Vodka is one of the world’s most popular liquors and the second largest spirit category in New Zealand. Composed solely of water and ethanol, vodka is made from fermenting grain, rye, wheat, potatoes, rice, or sugar beet molasses. Vodka is commonly used in cocktails and mixed drinks, such as the Bloody Mary, the Screwdriver and the White Russian, but can also be consumed neat.
The Lion Nathan New Zealand vodka portfolio offers a range of traditional vodkas as well as some exciting flavoured vodkas for a twist on the usual.

Cîroc
Most vodkas are produced from common starches such as wheat or potatoes, but there are other, more uncommon ways to create vodka. Cîroc is one of these uncommon vodkas, distilled from carefully selected fine French grapes – including the exclusive Ugni blanc and Mauzac blanc grapes grown in vineyards nestled in the Gaillac and Cognac regions of France.
It is here, in one of the oldest wine-growing areas in France, that Cîroc gets its true character. Cîroc marries tradition and the spirit of invention to produce one of the world’s most extraordinary vodkas. The grapes are picked at their peak of ripeness and small batches are distilled in copper pots five times – capturing the true essence and flavour of the grape. The final result is a taste experience that is refreshingly uncommon and elegantly smooth.
Cossack
Cossack Vodka is produced from the finest grains. It has a very mild elusive aroma and mild flavour and is bottled in New Zealand.
Grey Goose
Grey Goose Vodka is a super premium vodka created in Cognac France from the best ingredients the region has to offer. Combining 100% fine French wheat, a five step distillation process and purified artesian spring water, Grey Goose is the pinnacle of high quality vodka. These elements combine to create a smooth, soft, refined and buttery vodka. The original vodka is complemented by three flavour variants, La Poire, Le Citron and L’Orange, crafted in an all-natural process that blends natural flavour essences with Grey Goose original.
Ketel One
Ketel One is produced at the Nolet Distillery in Schiedam Holland, which was founded by Joannes Nolet in 1691 and is now owned by the family’s 11th generation. Made from wheat, Ketel One is named after the original copper pot still, ‘Distilleerketel #1’.
The first and last 100 gallons of the liquid are discarded and only the core of each distillate is kept to provide consumers the finest, smoothest, ultra-premium product. Ketel One’s Master Distiller oversees the creation of this handcrafted product utilising traditional copper pot distillation. Each batch of vodka is then tasted by a member of the Nolet family to approve the product’s right to bear the Ketel One name.
Smirnoff
From its illustrious Russian origin to the world’s most popular contemporary drink brand, Smirnoff has always been known for premium quality vodka. Voted the Best Vodka by the New York Times, Smirnoff No. 21 has been described as “pure, clean and ultra smooth, with pleasing texture and classic Vodka aroma.”
Sold in over 130 countries in six continents, Smirnoff continues to be the undisputed number one premium vodka in the world and New Zealand. As was the case over a century ago, the popularity of Smirnoff comes from the combination of outstanding vodka at an accessible price.
