Cîroc Snap Frost and Grey Goose flagship are both typically 40% ABV / 80 proof on US bottles. A 1.5-ounce pour is one NIAAA standard drink either way. The class is still vodka. Cîroc is grape vodka (Diageo; Mauzac Blanc / Ugni Blanc story on brand process pages). Grey Goose is French winter wheat (Bacardi). Brand homepages often omit an ABV tile — read the neck.
Flavored Cîroc “made with vodka” SKUs are commonly 35% / 70 proof on US labels. Grey Goose Essences is 30%. Related: Cîroc, Grey Goose, vodka guide.
