Absolut Lime (750Ml)

Absolut Lime gives you the taste of freshly squeezed lime in a clean Swedish vodka. Absolut makes it in Åhus, a small village in southern Sweden. The flavor comes from natural lime flavoring, and the bottle sits at 40% ABV. Absolut added it to the range in January 2017 to round out its citrus line.

Open the bottle and the first thing you notice is zesty, juicy lime. It smells crisp and clean, like a lime you just cut. The taste is vivid and bright. Absolut's own team compares it to key lime pie, with a creamy feel on the tongue. The finish is dry and crisp, and the lime zest lingers.

Simple drinks are where it shines. Top it with soda water over ice and add a lime wheel. Use it for a Vodkarita, a lime-forward take on the Margarita. It also works in a Mojito, a mule, a spritzer or a martini. If you enjoy easy cocktails with a citrus edge, this bottle saves you a lot of squeezing.

Pair a cold glass with grilled fish, shrimp tacos or chips and salsa. The bright citrus cuts through salty and fried food nicely. Keep it in the freezer if you like your vodka extra crisp. It is an easy pick for summer parties and lazy weekend afternoons.
