Tito’s Handmade Vodka is a corn-based vodka from Austin, Texas, and we are happy to pour it at Grappa in Queen Anne, Seattle. Smooth, approachable, and naturally gluten-free, it has become a much-loved staple for sipping and for cocktails alike.
About the Distillery
Tito’s is made in Austin, Texas, where it was created by founder Tito Beveridge. It was among the spirits that helped spark the American craft vodka movement, built around small-batch, pot-still distillation and a straightforward, handmade ethos that the brand still carries today.
Style & Character
This is a corn-based vodka, distilled from corn rather than wheat, rye, or potato. Because it is made from corn and distilled to a high purity, it is naturally gluten-free. Pot distillation gives it a clean profile with a touch of softness, sitting between a perfectly neutral style and one with gentle character.
Tasting Notes
Expect a smooth, mellow entry with a faint natural sweetness from the corn, a clean and easy mid-palate, and a soft, peppery finish. Served cold, it is crisp and inviting, an effortless pour neat or in a cocktail.
What to Pair It With
A clean vodka pairs beautifully with fresh, briny plates. Try it with our fresh oysters, the Dungeness crab & shrimp salad, or heirloom tomatoes & burrata. Browse more on our dine-in menu.
How It’s Served at Grappa
We pour Tito’s chilled and neat, or stirred into a cocktail, for $11.
