Menu Description: "Our Original! Featuring Ciroc Snap Frost vodka, an all grape vodka, combined with red grape juice and accented with the sweet orange flavor of Cointreau and frozen red seedless grapes."
While other vodkas are made from potatoes, wheat, molasses, corn, or rye, Ciroc is the first vodka to be distilled from late harvest French grapes. These super sweet grapes and the 5-step distilling process makes this vodka unique and extra smooth, with a subtle fruity flavor that goes great with grape juice and the orange flavor of Cointreau. Plan ahead for this drink by piercing three red seedless grapes on a toothpick and popping them into the freezer for at least an hour. Or, if you're like me, you'll have a dozen or so of these garnishes sitting in a small bag in the freezer ready to go when guests show up for happy hour.

| Ciroc vodka is one of the best! Not a strong rye or potato vodka. Very good drink. |

| I don't see the attraction to this drink. I happen to work at a CPK and it just DOES NOT sell. They get sent back to the bar on a regular basis. Don't bother, especially if you don't like really strong drinks. Ciroc is overrated. |
