Arby’s is now selling two French fry-flavoured vodkas

11 November 2021 By Christian Smith

If you’ve always thought that it would be great if your love of both French fries and vodka could be somehow melded, then today is your lucky day, because Arby’s is releasing not one, but two french fry-flavoured vodkas.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the Arby’s Curly Fry Vodka and Arby’s Crinkle Fry Vodka expressions will be a limited edition release, so, you know the drill: act fast if you want to bag yourself a bottle.

The Curly Fry Vodka is described as, “a tribute to the mastery of crisp, spiced, curled potato,” alongside the classic spices that bring the evocative Arby’s flavour (it’s distilled with cayenne, paprika, onion, and garlic).

The Crinkle Fry Vodka, meanwhile, is distilled with kosher salt and sugar to pay homage to “the rich tradition of salted potato shapes.”

Patrick Schwing, CMO. at Arby’s, said in an announcement:

“Though we’ve mastered the art of drive-thru fries, we wanted to take it one step further – by making them 80-proof.

“Being a potato-based liquor, this limited-edition vodka is infused with crinkle and curly fry flavor so Arby’s fans can enjoy our menu from bag to bottle. And we’ve worked to Chef Justin Sutherland to create Arby’s menu-inspired cocktails that pair perfectly with the new vodka flavor profiles.”

And yes, some vodka is made from potatoes, so I suppose you could argue there is something of a link there. Arby’s suggests a Bloody Mary is the ideal cocktail to conjure up using their irreverent new vodkas.

The two flavoured vodkas will go on sale at ArbysVodka.com on 18 November, though there are “extremely limited” quantities.

The bottled are priced at $59.99 each with shipping included.
