Absolut - Lime

Absolut Lime is produced by The Absolut Company at their distillery in Åhus, a small town in southern Sweden where the brand has been making vodka since 1879.

Like all Absolut flavoured expressions, it is made from winter wheat grown in the surrounding Skåne region, giving the base spirit a soft, slightly sweet character.

The lime flavour is derived from natural lime ingredients rather than artificial flavourings, and no sugar is added, keeping the profile clean and relatively dry compared to many flavoured vodkas on the market.

Absolut uses a continuous distillation process that involves one main distillation and a series of rectification steps, which produces a consistent, neutral spirit that allows the added flavouring to read clearly.

The result is a vodka that tastes recognisably of fresh lime peel rather than lime-flavoured candy, with enough brightness to work well in highballs, vodka sodas, and simple citrus cocktails. At this price point it sits comfortably as a reliable bar staple for home entertaining.

If you regularly make drinks that call for a squeeze of citrus, Absolut Lime offers a straightforward way to build that character directly into the spirit without additional prep work. It is not a craft product, but it delivers consistent quality within the flavoured vodka category.
