CÎROC is a truly modern vodka, filled with flavour and style that brings celebration to every cocktail and occasion. Laid back, or up-tempo CÎROC is at the heart of fashion, music and party celebrations with its confidant approach to living in the now.

Robicquet's commitment to quality and luxury ingredients creates a distinctly fruity taste that bursts to life in the glass. CÎROC vodka was launched in 2003 and the portfolio now boasts the latest innovations in flavoured vodka including CÎROC Peach and CÎROC Apple, all part of the wider seasonal flavour range. Lusciously smooth, playfully sophisticated and cheekily against the grain, CÎROC is committed to exquisite taste, quality and a fun-loving lifestyle which is reflected in every bottle.
