Review: High Noon Ruby Red Grapefruit Vodka
High Noon Ruby Red Grapefruit Vodka was just released along with a Lemon and an unflavored vodka.

This is the same distillery that makes the 360 brand of vodka, but High Noon is the newest member in the growing line of spirits under the E&J Gallo umbrella. The others include New Amsterdam Vodka and Gin, Camarena Tequila, Rum Haven Coconut Rum, E&J Brandy, and Shellback Rum.
