Absolut Blue Vodka 75cl

Crisp vodka that plays nice in cocktails, but still has enough character to keep things interesting. This Swedish classic comes from Åhus, where Absolut sticks to a simple idea, quality winter wheat, local water, and a clean distillation style that lets your mixer shine.

• Nose: Fresh grain, light citrus peel, a faint black pepper lift.
• Taste: Clean and dry with a soft wheat sweetness, lemon zest, and a gentle peppery bite that keeps it lively in mixed drinks.
• Finish: Bright and tidy, with lingering cereal notes and a small citrus flicker.

Why it earns shelf space, it’s dependable in the best way. Want a Vodka Soda that stays crisp instead of flat? Done. Building a Moscow Mule that keeps its snap under ginger beer and lime? Easy. Mixing a Bloody Mary where the savoury stuff doesn’t bully the base spirit? This holds its own without taking over.

The flavour profile is the secret weapon here. That mild wheat sweetness gives body, so your drink doesn’t feel watery. The citrus and pepper edge add definition, so the first sip tastes as good as the last. It’s the kind of vodka that makes “simple” cocktails feel intentional.

It’s also a great reset bottle for your home bar. If you’ve got friends with different tastes, this is the peace treaty. It works in highballs, long drinks, and anything where you want clean structure underneath fruit, herbs, ginger, or spice.

And yes, it’s Swedish, from Åhus, a coastal town where Absolut has built its identity around doing one thing consistently well: making a clear, crisp vodka that’s easy to mix and easy to like.

Fun Fact: Absolut’s signature label design was inspired by an old Swedish medicine bottle, that’s why it looks so iconic on a shelf.
