September, poured over ice. 🍂

Meet the September Smoke—a smooth blend of vodka, fig, warm vanilla and rosemary, finished with a hint of pomegranate and a touch of smoke.

Rich without being heavy, subtly sweet and made for that moment when summer evenings begin to feel like fall.

Available for September only at La Vida.
