Grey Goose Le Citron
Grey Goose's French lemon vodka: soft and full, with natural citrus from the essential oils of lemons, including those from Menton. For an elegant Lemon Drop, a Vodka Martini with a twist or simply with tonic.
Lemon, the French way
Grey Goose Le Citron starts with the same approach as the Original: soft winter wheat from Picardy, distilled five times and blended with spring water from Gensac-la-Pallue in the Cognac region. Then the lemon is added, not as a candy-like flavor but from the essential oils of lemons, including lemons from Menton on the Côte d'Azur.
The result is a lemon vodka that remains soft and full, with balanced citrus instead of a sharp, sour kick. At 40%, it has the same strength as the Original. Grey Goose describes Le Citron primarily as a cocktail ingredient, but it is just as enjoyable neat or simply mixed.
In brief
Soft, full and naturally citrusy
Lightly sweet
A lightly sweet nose with fresh lemon running through it. Subtle, without the perfume-like aroma of many lemon vodkas.
Soft and full
Soft and full-bodied, with balanced citrus from lemon oil. Round rather than sour.
Warm, fresh and subtle
A warm finish that remains fresh, with a subtle lemon note that gently fades.
Grey Goose Le Citron's flavor profile when lightly chilled. In a cocktail, the full, round citrus comes to the fore.
Three elegant ways to enjoy Le Citron
Le Citron is a vodka for refined, clear drinks: few ingredients, good glassware and plenty of ice.
Le Citron Martini
60 ml Grey Goose Le Citron and 10 ml dry vermouth, stirred with plenty of ice and strained into a chilled Nick & Nora glass. Squeeze a lemon zest over the glass.
Go to the Martini →Le Citron & tonic
45 ml Grey Goose Le Citron with 150 ml tonic in a large copa filled with ice, finished with a long lemon zest. Lighter and softer than a gin and tonic.
Copa glasses →Lemon Drop

View the recipe →Classic cocktails with Le Citron
Le Citron works best in classics where lemon already plays a role, because it makes the citrus rounder and fuller.
Lemon Drop Martini
Lemon vodka, triple sec and lemon juice with a sugared rim. Softer and fuller with Le Citron.
Vodka Martini
Vodka and dry vermouth, stirred and ice-cold. Le Citron gives it a built-in lemon twist.
Vodka Gimlet
Vodka with lime juice and sugar, shaken briskly. Lemon and lime enhance each other.
Vodka Collins
The Collins with vodka instead of gin: lemon juice, sugar and soda over ice.The right glass for Grey Goose Le Citron
A Nick & Nora for the Martini, a coupe for the Lemon Drop, a large copa for Le Citron with tonic and a slim highball glass for the Collins.
