Au Vodka Strawberry Burst 70cl Edizione Cuori Rossi

The bottle itself is a proper statement piece with that red hearts design, almost too pretty to hide in the cupboard. The strawberry taste is genuinely sweet without masking the smoothness of the vodka, so it went down dangerously easy in mixed drinks.

The five-times distillation really comes through—it’s dangerously smooth, and the strawberry taste is sweet without being syrupy. Poured a couple of shots over ice for a mate’s birthday and the red hearts bottle was the talking point of the night.

Bought this as a gift for my sister’s birthday, and the five-times distilled vodka goes down dangerously smooth with the strawberry taste. The 70cl red hearts bottle looks even better in person and made the whole thing feel more special than the price tag suggested.
