Effen starts with 100% premium wheat from Northern France. Wheat contains the purest kind of starch - one that is extremely low in fatty acids. The result is a silky, smooth liquid. Made with all-natural ingredients, it's smooth enough to drink straight or the perfect base for mixing a cocktail.Inspired by the essence of freshly harvested vine-ripened cucumbers, this vodka creates a refreshing take on classic cocktails. It can provide a crisp twist to a traditional martini or mule, and also mixes well with soda water, tonic or lemon-lime soda to create a cool, refreshing taste.
