Fou Dre Pemiere Vodka

An impressive premium Vodka from an impressive young woman.

Chanel Turner is an impressive young woman. In 2009, she became the youngest woman to own her own Spirit brand after founding FOU-DRÉ Vodka. Chanel was also the first African American woman to both own and operate a Vodka brand. It doesn’t end there: the passionate entrepreneur that she is, she founded the annual Black-Owned Spirit & Wine Festival – BOWSFest to celebrate black-owned Spirits brands. But we’re here to talk about FOU-DRÉ and we can start with the name: pronounced FOO-DRAY, which refers to the French word for lighting that’s pronounced the same way. The sleek bottle that’s crafted by the famed Saver Glass, a French glass-making company.

After experimenting with 87 different formulas, Turner found a way to infuse her ultra-premium Vodka with fruits that are not very commonly found in Spirits. Pomegranate, lime, lychee, ginger, and kiwi fruits find their way into this smooth, crisp, and clean Vodka that goes through a patented TerrePURE® process after distillation. This removes congeners from the Spirit that can actually make your hangover worse. Plus, there are no artificial sweeteners or preservatives and the Spirit is kosher and gluten-free.
