[5] The flavored vodkas are made using the circulation method, where the vodka flows into the flavored liquid to create the flavored vodka. [6] The water used is sourced from a lake in Wales that was created by a dam that flooded in 1888, submerging an old village. [7]
Three Olives unflavored vodka is 40% alcohol by volume (80 proof). [2] Nearly all Three Olives flavored vodka types are 35% abv (70 proof).

In 2013, Three Olives launched a $20 million international print, billboard and digital advertising campaign starring actor Clive Owen. The ads feature atmospheric stills of Owen in a variety of London locations, reflecting the vodka's British origin. [4] That same year, Three Olives partnered with the estate of Marilyn Monroe to create a Marilyn Monroe Strawberry Vodka, with a strawberries and cream flavor. [8] The bottle's label featured a classic image of Monroe standing over a subway grate as the wind ruffles her white dress. [9] The deal was a three-year license that expired in January 2016, hence the Strawberry vodka had dropped the Monroe name during 2015 production. Proximo previously launched a $10 million animated campaign for the vodka in 2011, [10] and their grape-flavored Purple vodka was endorsed by rapper Lil' Kim in a 2010 national ad campaign. [11]
