Absolut Vodka, 200 ml

It’s been a long time since I’ve had Absolut.So I recently tried it again in an impromptu head-to-head against Stolichnaya (one of the “old” bottles that still claim it to be a product of Russia, not Latvia). And as it should be for a serious tasting, I sipped small quantities at a little less than room temperature.Frankly, I liked it. It’s not an entirely “transparent” vodka, but I never understood the idea of vodkas being taste-free ethanol and water anyway. Absolut has a bit more burn than Stolichnaya and a slightly more bitter aftertaste, but both effects are quite short-lived (I’ve had my share of Eastern European moonshine spirits, so I know what a *real* burn is like…). Absolut’s got its own character that I would describe as slightly “sparkling”, and that ... MoreIt’s been a long time since I’ve had Absolut.So I recently tried it again in an impromptu head-to-head against Stolichnaya (one of the “old” bottles that still claim it to be a product of Russia, not Latvia).

Absolut’s got its own character that I would describe as slightly “sparkling”, and that includes both sweet and bitter notes. In fact, I found Stolichnaya to be fairly dull in this comparison, but that’s probably what makes it a better choice for a well-chilled Vodka Martini.

I’ve had Absolut at various levels of cold. Even when barely chilled it is still smooth. However, the flavor is rather bitter to me. In the middle, there are some very slight sweet flavors, but mostly bitter. It starts and finishes bitter, which makes it a less desirable for a shot. Absolut complements various juices and sodas. It adds an interesting flavor to the normally sweet beverage. At higher levels, the bitterness starts to come out. While it doesn’t really enhance the flavor of soda or juice, the vodka flavor complements other beverages (particularly orange juice). It does indeed makes a decent mixed drink.

Needless to say, Absolut is a good mixer, but a smooth, but very bad tasting shooter. I do like how they have various flavors, some I have yet to try. Overall, not the worst tasting spirit I've tried but not the best either.

Omg! Sorry I had to make a review but unfortunately this drink is not in the reviews as something to pull up. If you like Absolut then you must try these new Sparkling beverages they’ve got out. I just had the Berry Vodkarita absolutely amazing. It doesn’t taste like a sparkling drink with the weird taste while drinking. It’s 110 calories 10% alc by volume. Made with all natural flavors. Omg I’m in love. ❤️

Well what can I say, not a Lott really, feeling intoxicated. Actually send help or even a takeaway…… this is one of those drinks for after one of those days! Definitely value for money clearly going to give me a hangover. Tastes good,, especially at this moment in time, mix with some pop and ice. Actually I now need music and a dance floor. I think it’s an all round great product. Should be banned on school nights. Looks like hubby can do school run tomorrow 🤣🤣🤣now I’m going it’s time to party 🎉

Lovely vodka that I didn’t expect to love so much! Mainly purchased this vodka to be used in Bloody Mary as I love them. Decided to open it to have a whiff and oh my it smells amazing!!! Best paired with fever tree Indian tonic and lots of ice. I’ve tried it without a slice a lime and you can definitely taste the lime in the vodka it’s not overpowering but it’s just so subtle and refreshing. It’s also well balanced with the vodka. I’ve also tried it with a slice of lime and it just lifts it up a little bit! I found the price very reasonable on amazon. Have decided to keep this vodka to have with tonic and purchased another plain polish tonic to have with my Bloody Mary. This certainly won’t be my last bottle will definitely repurchase!

A decent mixer, inexpensive, served in loads of bars so people are used to it. I have tried at least a dozen brands of vodka. When it comes to vodka used for mixing...especially for a vodka martini, Absolut is the best there is. I make a vodka martini with three ounces of Absolut, a splash of dry vermouth, and extra olives. The result is the same each and every time....perfect, perfect, perfect. I have only one reservation regarding Absolut, and it is a reservation more for the company, rather than the spirit itself: The original Absolut vodka is smooth, silky, and delicious, either neat, or as part of a cocktail. I believe, however that Absolut is spending too much time, money and other resources on producing their considerably wide range of flavored vodkas: acai ... MoreA decent mixer, inexpensive, served in loads of bars so people are used to it.

I believe, however that Absolut is spending too much time, money and other resources on producing their considerably wide range of flavored vodkas: acai berry, mango, wild tea, pomegranate, etc. I have never been a fan of flavored vodka. Absolut should stick to their original vodka, plus maybe four other varieties. I would recommend Absolut 100, Apple, Citron, Mandarin Orange, and maybe Vanilla. With around twenty flavor varieties to choose from, the Absolut brand has become diluted. Stick to producing outstanding bottles of vodka without the foo-foo flavors, and Absolut will remain the best out there in terms of quality, smoothness, taste, and price.

Gotta love Absolut! So many varieties/flavors, there's something for everyone! The price range is great, not too expensive, (and not the cheap- gives you a migraine the next day brand). Definitely great for mixed drinks, or just on the rocks! Pictured are Three of my favorite drinks made with Absolut. I made a Mermaid's Tail, a White Russian, and a Cosmopolitan! Definitely fun to explore all of the vodka drinks out there, and create new drinks as well! I bartend, and Absolut is definitely a fixture at work and in my personal bar at home as well!

I’ve had Absolut at various levels of cold. Even less chilled, it’s still smooth. It’s an easy mixer and you can find it everywhere, which makes it accessible. I find it cleaner and more crisp than any other vodkas in this price bracket. The bottle is quite cute but bulky. It does taste like rubbing alcohol, but it does the job.

Consistently my brand to go to for vodka.

After a few bad experiences with vodka I have come to learn which brands to avoid. Thankfully I know I can always trust Absolut to provide a high quality vodka. I enjoy their flavoured vodka but also the Blue one too as it really enhances cocktails that need it as part of the recipe. For the first time ever, I made vodka pasta this week using this and the dish was yummy and definitely to be repeated. It says on the recipe to use a decent vodka so I made sure I did! No nasty aftertaste just a really enjoyable drink (or meal as I have now discovered!).
