Finlandia Vodka has introduced a new range of vodka-based spirits, Finlandia Botanical. The new offerings combine Finlandia Vodka with botanical infusions in a lower ABV format.
Bottled at 30% ABV, Finlandia Botanical is has no artificial flavors, is naturally gluten-free, contains no added sugars, no artificial sweeteners and is only 73 calories. The two infusions, ‘Cucumber & Mint’ and ‘Wildberry & Rose’, are presented in the classic Finlandia bottle inspired by fresh glacial water with a beautiful botanical label.
“Boasting the best Finnish nature has to offer, Finlandia Botanical combines the versatility and mixability of vodka with the craftsmanship of botanical infusions in a way previously only associated with gin,” says Pekka Pellinen, Finlandia Vodka Global Master Mixologist. “Sipped in a spritz, on the rocks, or with tonic, the new expression will invoke the dreamy night-less nights of the Finnish summer.”
“Not just any summer: a Finnish summer,” says a press release. “A summer where the sun never sets, the barley grows rapidly and the water flows unfiltered from ancient moraines.”
Finlandia suggests that the new spirits play the perfect base for straight-forward cocktails and are best enjoyed simply mixed with sparkling water, tonic, or lemonade.
Both Cucumber Mint and Wildberry Rose are available now in Colorado, Connecticut, Louisiana, Texas, and Washington, ahead of a larger roll out with a suggested retail price of $15.99.

In February, Grey Goose introduced its own line of botanical vodkas under the name Grey Goose Essences. The luxury brand‘s most recent innovation is made with all-natural ingredients and comes from infusing Grey Goose Vodka with real fruit and cold-distilled botanicals. It comes in three flavors: bright and citrusy Strawberry & Lemongrass, the floral, yet savory White Peach & Rosemary, and the dewy and peppery Watermelon & Basil.
