Lithuanian Raspberry 750ML

Lithuanian Raspberry 750ML is a grain-based raspberry-infused vodka bottled at 35% ABV (70 proof) in a 750ml format, distinguished by whole authentic raspberries placed inside every bottle. Produced in Lithuania by Stumbras AB, one of the Baltic region's most established distilleries, this expression stands apart from conventional flavored vodkas by using natural raspberry juice alongside the visible fruit — a production choice that delivers genuine berry character rather than artificial sweetness.

Production & Heritage

Stumbras AB is among Lithuania's oldest and most recognized spirits producers, with deep roots in Baltic distilling tradition. Lithuanian Raspberry begins with a clean, grain-based vodka that undergoes infusion with natural raspberry juice and real fruit. The defining production detail is the inclusion of whole, authentic raspberries inside every bottle — not merely a visual flourish but a continued maceration that reinforces the berry profile over time. This approach contrasts sharply with many flavored vodkas that rely solely on extracts or artificial flavorings.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Fresh-picked raspberries lead immediately, followed by a subtle sweetness and a light, clean grain backbone. There is a natural, slightly tart berry quality rather than a candied or synthetic impression.

Taste: The entry is bright and fruit-forward, with ripe raspberry flavor dominating from the first sip. At mid-palate, a gentle sweetness balances against a mild tartness that mirrors biting into a fresh berry. The grain base remains neutral and smooth, letting the raspberry character take center stage.

Finish: Medium in length with a clean, refreshing fade. Lingering notes of natural raspberry and a hint of berry skin tartness leave the palate feeling fresh rather than cloying.

How to Drink Lithuanian Raspberry

Chilled and neat, this vodka showcases its natural raspberry infusion at its purest; a brief rest in the freezer enhances its smooth, slightly viscous texture. It also works exceptionally well over ice, where slow dilution opens up additional fruit nuance.

• Raspberry Mule: The real fruit character pairs naturally with ginger beer and fresh lime, adding depth that artificial raspberry vodkas cannot match.
• Cosmopolitan: Substitute Lithuanian Raspberry for plain vodka to amplify the cocktail's berry dimension without needing additional raspberry liqueur.
• Raspberry Collins: Combined with fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, and soda water, the natural tartness of this vodka creates a balanced, effervescent summer drink.

• Hosting a cocktail party where a visually striking bottle sparks conversation
• Gifting to someone who appreciates unique, fruit-forward spirits
• Building a home bar with flavored vodkas that use real, natural ingredients
• Warm-weather entertaining where chilled, berry-driven cocktails are in rotation
