Absolut Lime Flavoured Swedish Vodka — A Zesty Twist on a Premium Classic
Absolut Lime Flavoured Swedish Vodka brings a vibrant burst of freshly pressed lime to the iconic Absolut Original. Bottled at 40% ABV in a 70 cl format, this smooth, all‑natural vodka contains no added sugar and offers a vivid citrus character that brightens both classic and contemporary cocktails. Whether enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or mixed into a wide array of drinks, Absolut Lime is the ultimate choice for those seeking a refreshing, fruit‑forward spirit.
A Swedish Legacy Meets Citrus Innovation
Since 1879, Absolut has been crafting vodka in Åhus, Sweden, using winter wheat and limestone‑filtered spring water. Over 400 years of Swedish distilling tradition go into every bottle. With the introduction of Absolut Lime, the brand combines its heritage of purity and craftsmanship with the zesty appeal of lime essence. By macerating fresh lime peels directly in the vodka, Absolut preserves the fruit’s true aromatic oils, resulting in a natural, clean flavor profile without artificial additives or sugars.
Natural Ingredients, Pure Flavor
Absolut Lime is distilled an infinite number of times to achieve exceptional smoothness. Its citrus addition employs only natural lime essence sourced from premium growers. The result is a spirit that opens with lively lime zest on the nose, leads with crisp citrus taste on the palate, and closes with a slightly sweet, fruity finish. Because Absolut uses the entire fruit peel—no concentrates or syrups—drinkers get the authentic, bright tang of lime without any cloying sweetness.
Inviting Tasting Profile
- Nose: Freshly squeezed lime with hints of green herbaceousness and a whisper of clean grain.
- Palate: A smooth entry transitions into a vivid lime burst—tart yet balanced—with underlying warmth from the vodka’s neutral spirit.
- Finish: A gently sweet, fruit‑driven close that lingers with soft citrus oils and a touch of white pepper spice.
This lively profile makes Absolut Lime equally satisfying sipped on its own or as the star of a mixed drink.
