We use world-famous Wyman's Wild Maine Blueberries, smaller and more intensely flavored. We soak or steep them in alcohol for several days. After the steeping period, the blueberry alcohol is filtered off the blueberries. We add a miniscule amount of sugar and some water. We then take that solution and mix it into our vodka.

There are two critical differences between our flavored vodka and the rest of the market. First, our Blueberry Vodka has only 1% sugar. The rest of the flavored vodkas on the market have anywhere from 12% to 15% sugar.

Second, our Blueberry Vodka is a "true" vodka at 80 proof. The rest of the flavored vodkas on the market are 70 proof (or less). This is because the other manufacturers add a flavored mix to their basic 80 proof vodka. At Cold River we start with a specially made 90 proof vodka and then add our wild blueberry flavoring.
