Belvedere Vodka Teams Up With The Doughnut Project For a Special Treat

Get ready for this season’s tastiest collab.

Spirits and pastry fans alike will be treated to a special gift this holiday season: super-premium vodka Belvedere has teamed up with New York City-based shop The Doughnut Project to create the Belvedere Heritage Old-Fashioned Doughnut. The limited-edition delicacy marks the confectionary’s first-ever collaboration with a vodka brand. 

The exclusive glazed doughnut was inspired by Belvedere’s Heritage 176 cocktail, the Heritage Style, and combines the drink’s unique malted rye flavors with notes of honey, walnut, and allspice. The process through which Belvedere’s vodka is made also served as inspiration, with the rye being heated up to 176 degrees to bring out the grain’s flavor. 

The partnership came through the brands’ connection over similar values and appreciation of natural flavors. Belvedere’s vodka is produced with Polska rye and purified water, distilled only by fire, and the distillery aims to provide premium products that taste naturally rich and distinctive. Likewise, The Doughnut Project values small-batch innovative and tasteful creations, with desserts inspired by fresh, seasonal, savory, and, of course, cocktail flavors. 

“We are fans of Belvedere vodka, so we were excited by the opportunity to create this limited-edition doughnut in time for Christmas,” The Doughnut Project co-founder Leslie Polizzotto said in a statement. “The Belvedere Heritage Old-Fashioned Doughnut encapsulates those shared values but also the new Belvedere spirit, all in a fun baked confection.”

“The Doughnut Project’s commitment to innovation, flavor, and the use of fresh, simple ingredients to create something extraordinary is very much in line with Belvedere’s own mission,” Belvedere Vodka, Moët Hennessy USA vice president Allison Varone said in a statement. “We can’t think of a better way to surprise and delight fans of Belvedere Vodka than with this exciting collaboration.” 

Doughnut aficionados can grab The Belvedere Heritage Old-Fashioned Doughnut at The Doughnut Project’s West Village location in Manhattan (10 Morton St.) for $5 apiece. The confection will launch on the weekend of Dec. 11-13 and will make an encore appearance the weekend of Dec. 18-20. Belvedere’s Heritage 176 is also available on Drizly and Minibar
