Quick Facts: ABV: 35% (70 Proof)  |  Origin: Austin, Texas, USA  |  Flavored Vodka (Lime)  |  Distillery: Deep Eddy Distilling Co.

Production & Heritage

Deep Eddy Distilling Co. operates out of Austin, Texas, where the brand draws its name from the city's beloved Deep Eddy swimming pool. The lime expression is distilled ten times through a state-of-the-art column still using a 100% corn base, then filtered eight times through a proprietary filtration system. Production takes place in small batches of just 2,000 gallons at a time — a deliberate constraint that separates Deep Eddy from many mass-produced flavored vodkas and allows tighter quality control at every stage. The lime flavor comes from real lime, not artificial additives, which contributes to the vodka's notably authentic citrus character.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: The nose opens with an immediate burst of freshly squeezed lime juice — tart, sour, and unmistakably authentic. Behind the initial citrus hit, subtle green apple notes add a layer of bright acidity that reinforces the natural lime character.

Taste: The palate delivers pure lime from the first sip, tangy and slightly tart, balanced by a smooth, gently sweet corn-based vodka foundation. At mid-palate, the natural lime flavor intensifies without tipping into artificial sweetness, while the underlying grain character provides enough body to keep everything grounded. A measured vodka warmth builds toward the peak, giving the spirit structure beyond its fruit-forward profile.

Finish: Clean and acidic with a citrus-heavy exit that lingers without overstaying. The tartness fades gradually, leaving a crisp, dry impression with just enough residual lime zest to invite the next sip.

How to Drink Deep Eddy Lime

Served chilled or over ice, Deep Eddy Lime works well with minimal intervention — a squeeze of fresh lime and soda water makes a low-effort, high-reward warm-weather drink. Its authentic lime profile and moderate proof also make it a strong foundation for cocktails.

• Ranch Water: The tart lime character pairs naturally with tequila and Topo Chico, amplifying citrus without needing extra juice.
• Moscow Mule: Swap in Deep Eddy Lime for standard vodka to intensify the lime dimension against ginger beer's spice.
• Vodka Gimlet: The built-in lime flavor means less simple syrup is needed, producing a drier, more balanced gimlet.

Best For

• Stocking a home bar for summer entertaining and patio cocktails
• Simplifying cocktail prep when fresh citrus is unavailable
• Introducing someone to flavored vodka with a credible, award-winning example
• Tailgates, cookouts, and casual outdoor gatherings in warm weather
