Pubs and supermarkets across the country have banned Russian vodka as a further sanction on the Kremlin during the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.

Although some have already stated they will be replacing spirits with Ukrainian or Polish brands, if you want to enjoy a local tipple there are plenty of vodkas on offer made right here in Kent.

Wild Spirits of Kent

This Kent-based brand has three different flavoured vodkas on offer, all distilled and fermented in the county.

Their quince vodka is "entwined with human history and used from remedies to the trophies of goddesses in Greek mythology".

The golden coloured spirit can be enjoyed as a warming liqueur in winter or with a mixer for a summertime blend.

It is vegan and gluten free and will set you back £24 for a 500ml bottle.

Wild Spirits of Kent also sell their blackberry and vodka and rhubarb vodka for the same price.

The blackberry and vodka is a deep plum colour and is advertised as "the joy of the British Autumn season".

Their rhubarb vodka is also available in a 50ml bottle for just £4.50 and 200ml bottle for £12.

This flavour is great with champagne or on it's own.

Wild Spirits of Kent also stress that rhubarb is rich in vitamins C and K and is becoming increasingly recognised as a super food.

Louise Newland and Gill Ford are the founders and said: "Every season we gather our bounty of fruits, berries and even leaves to turn into delicious liqueurs and flavoured spirits.

"As with all natural products there may be a small amount of sediment at the bottom.

"All the colour you see and the flavour you taste is naturally there from the plants used in the process.

"Hedgerow and cottage plants were traditionally preserved for their medicinal properties to last through winter by steeping them in alcohols.

" Later they were made more palatable and drunk not only for "medicinal purposes" but also for pleasure - we love replicating these old recipes."

Copper Rivet

The Copper Rivet Distillery in Chatham may be better known for their gins, but they also have a vodka on offer.

A 500ml bottle costs £28.50 or can be enjoyed mixed into a cocktail on site.

Crafted in small batches, they hand select early harvest Kentish wheat, barley and rye, which is distilled before being charcoal filtered.

Copper Rivet say that is is inspired by a constellation used for navigation by sailors since Roman times and is "delightfully distinctive and full of complexity".

The distillery is award-winning and recently received a visit from HRH The Prince of Wales.

They are now pledging £5 from every webstore purchase to the Ukraine Crisis Appeal and Unicef.

In a statement on their Facebook page they said: "We are pledging £5 from every Copper Rivet Distillery web store purchase of 50cl bottle of Dockyard Gin, Masthouse Whisky, Vela Vodka and Son of a Gun to the Red Cross Ukraine Crisis Appeal and Unicef to support the invaluable work they are doing in and around Ukraine.

"So, if you are planning to buy gin, vodka or whisky during these next weeks, please consider buying them here and £5 from the sale proceeds of every 50cl bottle you buy using coupon code UKR will go towards those causes.

"Please use the coupon code UKR at the checkout to help us identify and track the donations due."

Chapel Down

The Chapel Down Winery in Tenterden is renowned for its still and sparkling wines and tasting tours.

However, they also distil a chardonnay vodka which sells for £30 for a 700ml bottle.

It is produced from triple distilled Chardonnay grape skins and has light citrus and floral aromas.

Chapel Down describe it as a "smooth, creamy palate with the merest hint of aniseed on the finish".

Anno

This spirit has been created by Anno Distillers by vapour-infusing Kentish elderflower into vodka using a botanicals basket.

They have created a floral spirit drink with a long-lasting flavour.

Anno says that it will "reveal it's inner secrets as it dances across your taste buds".

A 700ml bottle costs £30 and they recommend that it is enjoyed neat with ice or with prosecco.

Rent a Cherry Tree

This vodka is not distilled in Kent but is made using Kentish cherries.

The cherry liqueur flavoured vodka is derived from freshly picked cherries straight from Sandhurst.

They say it is a perfect gift to enjoy as an after dinner drink, out on a day’s hunting or added to a recipe to give it an extra kick.

A 350ml bottle will cost you £17.95.
