Some flavored vodkas add sugar and some do not. Purists consider flavored vodkas to really be liqueurs by definition, but marketing efforts and consumer tastes suggest that there is a bit of a grey area.There are two main types of flavored vodka: Infused and Compounded.To create an infused vodka, one must soak the flavor source (the fruit, vegetables, berries etc.) in the base spirit for a period of time and then redistill it. This captures the essence of the flavor, but leaves the solids (chunks of fruit, color, etc.) behind thus yielding a clear spirit.In contrast, compounded vodkas are most likely to have a flavored sugar syrup added to the base spirit for flavoring.In order to divine which product has sugar while you are shopping at your local liquor store, you need merely to look at the label. Infused vodkas typically will be bottled at a full 80 proof (40% alcohol). Compounded flavored vodkas will usually be 70 proof (35% alcohol) because they have been diluted by sugary flavoring agents. Please note that this is a general rule and there may be some exceptions.Examples of infused vodkas are Absolut, Effen, and Ketel One.Some recognizable compounded vodka brands are Stolichnya, Finlandia and Pinnacle.
