Cirrus Vodka

I already love Cirrus on a regular day, but the Christmas cocktail popup shop is INCREDIBLE!! The decor is so dreamy and every drink is absolutely delicious. Bonus: their patio is still open in the winter, just covered and equipped with very strong heaters. The vibes and beverages were just *chefs kiss*

I finally made it downtown to visit this distillery. It's located right next to a brewery and has indoor and outdoor seating. Today there were bands playing, food trucks, and lots of families and dogs. I was given a sample of cirrus vodka, which was nice, then opted for the blood orange crush, and just because it was a nice day to sit and listen to music, I then tried the blackberry smash. Both drinks were yummy and served by very nice people. This is a really cool place to hang out on the weekends.

It is one of my favorite places to go for a casual drink on the weekends. As someone who doesn't love beer, Cirrus is a good option to suggest when everyone else wants to go to a brewery. It has the same laid back, daytime feel that all of the Richmond breweries have. The drinks are always great! This time I got the lavender lemonade, but I also recently had the new seasonal drink which is a strawberry mule, and that was excellent!

I was there for a pottery pop up market, advertised as part of a pot-pub crawl in conjunction with the NCECA Pottery Convention in town- I of course had to pop in for a cocktail! I got the Blackberry Smash- which was delicious, even if I was freezing and wishing for a hot drink! lol. I also was intrigued with their specialty simple syrups- I sprung for a blackberry vanilla simple syrup to take home for cocktails! The bar was brightly lit, fun menu boards and quick service! Win win.

I love pretty much everything that Cirrus puts out. Their orange crush and limeade are two standouts for sure. I also really enjoyed their holiday cocktails this past season. I was able to try three out of four of them, and they were all really well made.It's a popular spot no matter the season. In the winter, they have a tent for some extra covered seating. The interior is cozy and cute, and the line for drinks generally moves pretty fast. It's a great spot in the summer as well with the live music that Main Line often has going on.I was confused about my total after my last visit and messaged them on insta. They responded so quickly and professionally to help clarify it for me. I really appreciated that too. Shows they care about their customers.I definitely recommend them for your vodka needs!

This is a cool little vodka distillery. I came by here this weekend and enjoyed the experience. The bartender was very nice and the drinks I had were pretty solid. There is a decent sized outdoor area and a smaller indoor area. If you're a vodka lover you can't go wrong checking this place out.

The weather cleared so we ventured out to Cirrus. It was pretty crowded and it appeared a group had grabbed all the tables in the tent even though they weren't sitting at them. The bar staff were quick filling drink orders so the line went quickly. The blood orange crush was delicious. The limeade was a little too tart unfortunately. The martini was delicious. Didn't see any food offerings.

I've been wanting to check out this distillery bar for some time. I was thrilled to finally experience it during their Santa Cocktail Shop! We visited it the Friday before Christmas Eve as a fun pre-Christmas celebration. I loved that it wasn't too crowded like the other Christmas cocktail pop-ups in town. It was cozy with fun ornament decorations.At first, I was shocked that there were only four holiday drinks to pick from, but then I quickly realized that it made sense since they all had Cirrus Vodka in them. My group and I had the chance to try all of them. The Slay Bells Ring was the fan favorite (a repeat pick for people in my group). I think people really liked the house made ginger syrup and elderflower in it. It was very refreshing. My partner and I found the Saint Nicholas Hot Cocoa to be very strong. Maybe it was extra strong because we had the end of a batch, but it was mainly vodka. We asked for more oat milk to dilute it. The Espresso Tini had a very yummy coffee flavor. It was fun to see two Richmond local places (Blanchard's and Cirrus Vodka) collab on the Blanchard's Infused Coffee Vodka in it. I'm usually not a big peppermint person, but love a white Russian. Their Peppermint White Russian was very tasty. I'm looking forward to checking out this place for their regular cocktails (which they were still serving when I went, but wanted to drown in the Christmas joy).

Citrus vodka is located between by Scott's addition/diamond district. The distillery is right next to Main Line Brewing so it's convenient location for a day out with friends. They have outdoor seating but it's pretty limited especially if it's a busy day. Their drinks are absolutely delicious and are more affordable compared to bars ($11-12). When I went, there was only one bartender working and the line was long but overall I had a great experience. I don't think the distillery has food but they host food trucks.

Really enjoyed the drink I got (spiced cranberry mule) it was truly unique. They really do a great job of having fun options. Came early on a Friday evening and there weren't many people there but it picked up quickly. Parking wasn't bad but I know that area gets busier later into the night.
