Cinco Vodka is a hand-made American vodka produced in San Antonio, Texas. Founded by Richard "Trey" Azar III, Cinco Vodka is made from Idaho-sourced wheat and naturally filtered water drawn from the Edwards Aquifer; it is the first European-style Texas vodka.

Cinco Vodka is made in small batches according to European tradition, and is the only Texas vodka that is made from 100% wheat, rather than corn. It is distilled five times from Idaho-sourced amber wheat in the distillery's 530-gallon hand-hammered copper kettle named "Betty." The Azar Distillery, where Cinco is made, is located in southeastern San Antonio in an area just outside the town of China Grove.

The motto of Cinco Vodka is "The martini lover's vodka," which alludes to Richard Azar's vision of creating an American ultra-premium vodka that rivals traditional European imports such as Grey Goose, Ketel One, and Belvedere.

In 2013, Cinco Vodka won awards at the Los Angeles International Spirit Competition including "Best of Division for Vodka" and "Best of Category for Wheat Vodka (Unflavored)". Overall, it was a Gold Medal Winner with 95 points.
