Absolut Lime Vodka

Absolut Lime landed in 2017 as the first new Absolut flavor in years, and it filled the most obvious gap on the bar: the lime that goes into almost every vodka drink anyway. Made in Åhus, Sweden, where Absolut has distilled since 1879 — continuous column distillation of locally grown winter wheat with water from the village's deep well — it's flavored with natural lime and no added sugar, bottled at 40% ABV. Expect a fresh, sharp nose of just-cut lime with a hint of zest oil, opening into a clean, crisp palate where the lime reads tart and bright rather than sweet, the wheat base's soft body keeping it smooth, finishing dry with lingering citrus. It's built for the drinks people already order: a vodka soda that needs no wedge, a Moscow Mule, a Lime Rickey, a vodka Gimlet, or the brand's own Absolut Lime & Tonic. Honest note: it's a flavored vodka, and purists should reach for the original or Elyx — but this is the one flavor that makes the simplest drink better without changing what it is. Drink Lab calls the flavored range genuinely useful, and Lime is the most versatile of the citrus family alongside the Cosmopolitan-defining Citron and the orange-forward Mandrin. The 18th-century medicine-bottle shape with green lettering. Swedish wheat, fresh lime, nothing else.
