Grey Goose Essences Strawberry and Lemongrass is the bright, citrusy member of the brand's clean label Essences line, set apart from the standard flavored vodkas by both its build and its strength. The base is the same Grey Goose vodka distilled from single origin Picardie soft winter wheat and limestone filtered spring water in the Cognac region under Cellar Master Francois Thibault. From there the spirit is infused with real strawberry fruit essence and cold distilled lemongrass, a process that captures the herb's zesty, exotic lift without added sugar or artificial flavoring. The defining detail is the proof: Essences is bottled at 30 percent alcohol by volume, or 60 proof, deliberately lower than the 40 percent of the regular Grey Goose range. That lighter strength is a design choice, built so the spirit shines in simple mixed drinks like a vodka soda, a berry spritz or a light highball, while keeping each serving around 73 calories with zero sugar, zero carbs and all natural ingredients. The flavor reads like a summer garden rather than a candy aisle. Sweet wild strawberry leads on the nose, brightened by zesty lemongrass and soft herbal tones with a touch of lemon. The palate is crisp and clean with juicy red berry and bright citrusy lemongrass, and the finish is light, refreshing and polished. It pairs naturally with fresh salads, light pastries, seafood and warm weather entertaining. Crafted and bottled in France, this is a versatile, low proof pour built for easy cocktails. Because it is a lower proof infused vodka rather than a full strength spirit, it is best enjoyed in light cocktails and over ice rather than as a neutral cocktail backbone.
