Syntax Spirits distills Class V Vodka and the newly-released Powder White Rum in Colorado. Proud of their heritage, they use 100% wheat and snow melt from their native state to distill their vodka.
Both the rum and vodka are functional in cocktails, though I don’t know if I’d recommend drinking them neat. At $25 each, the rum has a full-mouthed burn that gives yourĀ Daiquiris quite a punch.Ā Their vodka is sharp, grainy, and almost chalky. It’s a pretty interesting tasting experience because it’s so full of flavor, which isĀ unusualĀ for vodka. I used Syntax Class V to make a lemon drop:
Lemon Drop
- 1 1/2 oz vodka
- 1 oz lemon juice
- 1 tsp sugar
- shake and strain into a chilled cocktail glass
- lemon wheel garnish
