You know that first sip of a proper mojito — when the mint hits just right and the citrus zing lights up your palate like a summer sunrise? That moment doesn’t have to rely on luck, limes, or a trip to the bottle-o. It starts with one bottle that’s quietly changing the game from backyards to BBQs: Still Spirits Citrus Vodka.

It’s punchy without being overpowering, smooth without tasting weak, and fresh as a sea breeze off the coast in January. And here’s the kicker — your mojitos won’t just taste better. They’ll make guests think you’ve got a cocktail pro hiding in the shed.

The Mojito Used to Be a Bitfiddly

Mint muddling that turned to mush. Over-sweetened soda fizz. Rum with more bite than balance. Making a decent mojito used to mean walking a tightrope between refreshment and regret. But swap out the standard rum for this citrus vodka... and the drink all but makes itself.

“I used to avoid cocktails because they were too hit-and-miss. Now I look like I know what I’m doing — every time.”

So what makes it work so well?

The citrus layer brightens the drink, so you use less lime — no more emergency dashes or flavourless fruit.
The smooth finish means no throat burn — just a clean, fresh aftertaste that lets the mint and bubbles shine.
It’s versatile: one bottle, countless cocktails, no waste. Mojitos? Of course. Vodka tonics? Easy. Lemon crush spritz? Do it.

From Shed-Stash to Weekend Star

For folks who like to keep things casual but dialled-in, this vodka is more than just an ingredient. It’s a short cut to drinks you’re actually proud to serve. Whether you’re knocking up cocktails for a family birthday, winding down after mowing the lawn, or handing one to a mate who “doesn’t really do mixed drinks” — the reaction tends to be the same:

“What’s in this? It’s actually good.”

Best part? You can make that magic bottle yourself. Right at home. No neon bar signs required.

A DIY Spirit with Top-Shelf Flavour

Still Spirits Citrus Vodka is built for the hands-on soul who takes pride in the process. It works beautifully in local temps, pairs well with a wide range of mixers, and holds its own on ice without any extra garnish fluff.

And because it’s from Still Spirits — a name genuine home spirit makers lean on again and again — you can trust what you’re getting: a product that’s been trialled, tested, and tweaked to be bloody enjoyable without all the usual drama. No need to second-guess your still setup, no need to mess about with fancy infusion kits. Just a clean, citrus-forward finish that holds steady batch after batch.

Want a few combo ideas from the locals?

Mojito (with a twist): Citrus vodka, soda water, fresh mint, a dash of sugar syrup, and maybe three cubes of ice. Simple. Refreshing.
Lemonade Slammer: Citrus vodka and dry lemonade — sounds wrong, tastes right.
Citrus Mule: Ginger beer, citrus vodka, and a wedge of lime — punchy, fizzy perfection.

If you like experimenting, this is your sandbox spirit.

One Bottle. Less Fuss. Bigger Flavour Every Time.

We’ve had folks walk in asking what they’re doing wrong with their mojito recipe. But more often than not, it’s not the method — it’s the main ingredient. Rum can overpower. Plain vodka falls flat. Flavoured ones? Hit or miss. But Still Spirits Citrus Vodka splits the difference — clean spirit taste, sharp citrus lift, zero rough edges.

If you’ve ever handed someone a cocktail and quietly hoped they wouldn’t grimace, this one flips that script. You hand them this version, step back, and wait for the nod, the smile, and the low-key “Another round?”

That, right there, is the secret ingredient: confidence.

No dodgy citrus. No last-minute panic. Just the calm certainty that what you’re pouring will do you proud.

So next time you fire up the still, keep a few citrus essence sachets close. This isn’t just about drinks that taste better — it’s about making something worth sharing again and again.

Cheers to simpler spirits and better backyard bragging rights,
