Absolut Vodka

Absolut Vodka is produced near Ahus, southern Sweden, from the expensive winter wheat which gives Absolut such a smooth taste. It is sold under the name of Absolut since 1879. Swedish vodka, however, goes back even further: to the 15th century when Swedes first started distilling spirits called bränvin, which means literally, “burnt wine”.

Sweden has an age-old vodka distilling tradition. By the 17th century, the distilled spirit that we today refer to as vodka had become a national drink. In 1879 successful businessman Lars Olsson Smith introduced a new kind of vodka called Absolut Rent Bränvin (Absolute Pure Vodka), made using a revolutionary new distillation process. The process was called rectification, a method we still use today. First exported from it’s native Sweden to the global market in 1979, Absolut Vodka quickly became one of the best-selling premium vodkas in the world.

Absolut works excellently in the traditional Cosmopolitan cocktail recipe, and also in Seabreezes and Sours.
