Drink of the Week: Square One Bergamot Vodka

In this year's Imbibe 75 Issue we named bergamot—the fragrant citrus best known for lending Earl Grey tea its trademark scent—as a flavor to try in 2015. That's because bergamot is beginning to move beyond the tea world and into the cocktail glass, in part thanks to today’s Drink of the Week, Square One’s Bergamot Vodka. This vodka exudes a purity that many flavored vodkas lack. Fresh and unfiltered, bergamot mingles with notes of tangerines and botanicals like coriander, juniper and ginger. Mix it with Meyer lemon juice and seltzer for a citrus-forward spritzer, or simply drink on its own over ice. $30, thewinecountry.com
