Huckleberry Vodka is a new addition to Wild Roots Spirits' collection, which takes the form of a 70-proof spirit infused with real, fresh huckleberries. As the huckleberry boasts a taste that's simultaneously sweet and slightly tart, no sugar is added to the product. In terms of taste, the Wild Roots Huckleberry Vodka is said to have "the juiciness of a blueberry, the tartness of a cranberry and the color of a raspberry."
Wild Roots also makes berry-infused vodka spirits with everything from raspberries and the marionberry to cranberries.
Although global alcohol consumption is declining, many consumers are now interested in exploring spirits with natural flavors as a healthier approach to indulgence. Spirits from Wild Roots are currently available in Oregon, Washington and Idaho, with more availability to come across other states.
