Florida's citrus country producing new vodka
Standing in the heart of citrus country, where the trees are just beginning to yield the baseball-sized fruit that is Florida's signature crop, it's natural to thirst for a cold glass of orange juice.

Within about a year, 4 Orange Premium Vodka was born.
