The sun rises. The sun sets. Nothing could be more predictable. But in Finland, nature plays by a different set of rules. During the summer, the sun refuses to set, creating "days" that last months. This special occurrence is called the "midnight sun". The Midnight Sun shines for 73 straight days from today May 17 until July 28th so it is apt that this week's cocktail is the Finlandia Midnight Breeze using Finlandia Grapefruit Fusion.

Finlandia Grapefruit Fusion uses only natural essences of the peel and pith of pink grapefruit and is made from pure, untouched glacial water which requires no additional filtration. This creates one of the purest vodkas on the market.

Finlandia Grapefruit Fusion is made from the finest six row barley which is grown over the long summer nights under the Midnight Sun. It is high in starch and low in fatty oils presenting a balanced, neutral and crisp tasting vodka ideal for premium vodka cocktails and drinks.

40ml Finlandia Grapefruit Fusion Vodka
