This is certainly one of those “you’ve got to try this” experiences, and the fact that these exist and sell well is a commentary on the state of modern alcohol consumption, though I’m not sure what to make of it or what to conclude.Īll three of these vodkas had very interesting flavors and there’s room for creativity in how to use these flavors in cocktails, but I imagine these will mostly be consumed with a very simple mixer, like “PB&J and Soda,” or “S’mores and Coke,” or something like that. The flavor of S’mores was also the most subtle of the three. I think that S’mores would be the most flexible permanent addition to a home bar as it could be used in White Russians and other cocktails featuring coffee or chocolate. Loopy in particular tasted so much like a boozy version of it’s cereal brother, it was scary. This was an interesting experience, and the flavors were surprisingly accurate. Aztec Chocolate BittersīOC (“Breakfast or Champions” or “Bowl of Cereal”?) From left to right, these are pictured below: I made some simple cocktails with them, some recommended by the manufacturers. One of my favorite ways to enjoy many of these is with soda. At first whiff, every single one of these smells exactly as the labels suggest they would. Three Olives vodka comes in a whole bunch of flavors. Three Olives brand is about $20 a bottle retail, and Van Gogh is priced slightly higher. I tried three flavors of vodkas: Van Gogh PB&J (peanut butter and jelly), Three Olives S’mores, and Three Olives Loopy (Fruit Loops). Contact Us Compare () Sign In Create an Account Cart 0. Just saying.I will admit that I can have a snobby attitude about some vodkas, particularly the strange new flavored ones that have appeared in the stores recently, going way beyond fruit flavors to marshmallow or whipped cream vodkas! These flavored vodkas have begun to outsell nearly everything in the liquor stores, so it seems appropriate to at least give them a try. ALL ORDERS ARE SHIPPING OUT, HOWEVER DUE TO COVID-19, SOME ORDERS MIGHT TAKE LONGER THAN USUAL PROCESS. ![]() Also, it made my throat feel like it was eroding, worse than the harshest of any liquors ever consumed. Unheard of in our world! Don’t let your curiosity or nostalgia for suagared fruity cereal get the best of you. The bottle loomed around our house for more than 3 weeks. This LOOPY vodka was the nastiest thing I’ve ever had. Anyway, I do not typically drink flavored vodkas unless at a bar- peach, rasp, lime w/ iced tea or soda, maybe an occasional “bomb” if I’m feeling stupid. It should have been a signal, as it was $26 just a week prior. Anyway, next week I went back to same store and the 750ml was on sale for $13 and change. After looking through the “mini’s”, and not finding any sample’s, I put it off thinking next bar visit, I’ll try it in a shot. After initially spotting the bottle on my usual vodka aisle, I couldn’t help my curiosity. I was also allured by the pretty colors and the sheer novelty of it. It’s likely that you’ve already found this cheap effrontery towards the sanctity of vodka. If you weren’t a fan of the cereal you wont like this. ![]() It’s mimicking the flavor of a children’s cereal that is essentially sugar and oats, so that is expected, but if you don’t like sweet drinks this one might not be for you. We took chilled shots, we mixed it with milk, we tried it with the usual suspect mixers like spite, coke, etc and found that it works best as a shot, or mixed with fruit juices, maybe as a punch.It’s pretty sweet. That doesn’t make it a bad product, in fact I think it’s a pretty awesome idea they brought to life. Honestly, I like it, but it’s limited in my opinion to suicide drinks (drinks with tons of ingredients) like punches, shots, or like they suggest, with some milk. I found myself wanting to try it with milk, which is of course what the brand suggests. You can taste the tropical red berries and get a strong sense of citrus. ![]() Delicious is a matter of opinion, but what it does do is perfectly capture the taste of a bowl of froot loop cereal, with a nice buzz of alcohol behind it. Three Olives themselves describe Loopy as “A dastardly delicious medley of tropical fruit and imported English vodka”.
