Cîroc Black Raspberry is the limited edition that turns the all-black bottle into the centerpiece of any bar cart. While most vodkas are distilled from grain, Cîroc is made from fine French grapes — specifically Mauzac Blanc and Ugni Blanc varieties — distilled five times and finished in a tailor-made copper pot still in Southern France. The result is a naturally smoother, crisper base spirit that elevates the infusion above anything grain-based vodka can achieve. For the Black Raspberry edition, that base is masterfully infused with plump black raspberries and natural flavors for a lusciously smooth, richly fruity, and elegantly refined expression.
The sleek matte-black bottle with gold lettering is one of the most eye-catching in any vodka portfolio — and the limited edition status means it won't be around forever. Cîroc Black Raspberry was named one of the world's best-selling vodkas at the 2020 Drinks International awards. Whether you sip it straight, build a signature Black Smash cocktail, or give it as a premium gift, this bottle makes an impression.

FAQ
Why is Cîroc made from grapes instead of grain?
Cîroc is one of the only ultra-premium vodkas made from French grapes rather than grain or potatoes — specifically Mauzac Blanc and Ugni Blanc varieties. This grape-based distillation produces a naturally smoother, crisper, and more refined spirit that amplifies fruit infusions rather than competing with them.
Is Cîroc Black Raspberry gluten free?
Yes — Cîroc Black Raspberry is gluten free, as it is distilled from grapes rather than grain.
Is this a limited edition?
Yes — Cîroc Black Raspberry is a limited seasonal release and will only be available while supplies last. Once it's gone, there's no guarantee of restocking.
How should I serve Cîroc Black Raspberry?
Excellent chilled as a shot, over ice, or in the signature Black Smash cocktail (Cîroc Black Raspberry + lemon juice + simple syrup + mint + blackberries). Also fantastic in a Berry Mule, Raspberry Lemonade, or mixed with cranberry and sparkling water for a festive punch.
Where can I buy Cîroc Black Raspberry online?
