Review: Tito’s Handmade Vodka

When it comes to mixed drinks, I prefer a vodka cranberry or vodka and 7-Up. My vodka of choice in the past was Stoli’s, but I recently had the opportunity to sample Tito’s Handmade Vodka.

Tito’s Handmade Vodka is made right here in the US, in Austin, Texas. More about Tito’s:

Tito’s Handmade Vodka is produced in Austin at Texas’ first and oldest legal distillery. It’s made in small batches in an old fashioned pot still by Tito Beveridge (actual name), a 50-something geologist, and distilled six times. Tito’s Handmade Vodka is designed to be savored by spirit connoisseurs and everyday drinkers alike. It is microdistilled in an old-fashioned pot still, just like fine single malt scotches and high-end French cognacs. This time-honored method of distillation requires more skill and effort than modern column stills, but it’s well worth it.

It is heralded by the country’s top bartenders and mixologists as one of the smoothest expressions of the spirit, and Wine Enthusiast awarded it a score of 95 Points — higher than Ketel One, Absolut, Belvedere, and Grey Goose.

Tito’s is made from 100% corn mash, so it is naturally gluten-free, which makes this girl very happy! I always store my vodka in the freezer, so I popped my bottle of Tito’s Homemade in the freezer the day I received it. I decided last night to have a vodka 7-Up while making dinner.

This drink really hit the spot! So smooth! The only thing missing was a lime! How could I have forgotten to get a lime?

Tito’s Handmade Vodka can be found in select stores across the US. Check Tito’s website to find the location closest to you, as they may vary based on state laws.
