Most chilli vodkas are a flavouring exercise. Summum isn't.
The distillery sits on the banks of the Charente in Cognac, where two centuries of eau-de-vie know-how go into a wheat vodka named for the summit, the very best. For the Chilli expression, real Espelette pepper, the prized Basque chilli, is macerated straight into the spirit. No shortcuts, no spice rack.
The payoff: a Bloody Mary that needs nothing more than tomato juice over ice. Round, savoury and properly spicy, it earns its place at the grill too.
Real pepper, real heat. 🌶️
