ROXX Vodka, a Scottsdale-based family-owned brand, has received two international awards for liquor quality, outranking hundreds of other brands.
ROXX was named “Best Straight Vodka” at the 2025 SIP Awards and “Best Vodka” at the 2025 Global Spirit Awards, according to a press release.
The SIP Awards, one of the most respected international spirit competitions, received more than 1,300 entries from 47 countries this year. Winners were selected through a blind taste test judged by nearly 300 consumers and spirit enthusiasts.
“It is an honor to be named the best vodka in not one, but two international award competitions,” said Mr. Tryhus, CEO of ROXX Vodka. “We are incredibly proud of our vodka, its high quality and the partners who help us create a truly one-of-a-kind spirit. It means so much to be ranked so highly among many other incredible brands in the market. Congratulations to all who won at the SIP and Global Spirit Awards.”
Known for its purity, ROXX is hand-crafted, certified organic and additive-free. It is made with high-quality rye and the crystal water of Poland’s natural mountain springs. Currently, ROXX is exclusively served and sold in Arizona.
What started as a small business has now expanded statewide. ROXX is sold in major grocery stores such as AJ’s Fine Foods, Safeway, Albertsons, Total Wine and Trevor’s, and is served at hundreds of local bars and restaurants.
“We are incredibly humbled to have been chosen as the ‘Top Vodka’ from two of the most respected international spirit competitions,” added Mr. Tryhus.
“Their acknowledgements reinforce our belief that ROXX Vodka is the cleanest vodka in the world and continues the positive momentum of winning our consumers one taste at a time. It is always a joy to share a drink on the ROXX with our friends at a Valley restaurant, at home and now at Cardinals games as we became the official vodka of the Cardinals this year.”
