Absolut Lime Flavored Vodka. V&S Group / Pernod Ricard, hus, Sweden a natural lime-flavored expression from the hus distillery, delivering a distinct freshly pressed lime note and a smooth, fruity body with no added sugar from the continuous distillation base purpose-built for the Moscow Mule, Vodka Tonic, and any cocktail where bright, tart lime is the defining character.

Absolut Lime sits alongside Citron in the brand’s citrus family but occupies a distinct register: where Citron blends lemon and lime for a rounded, classic citrus profile, Absolut Lime focuses specifically on the sharp, tart, freshly pressed character of lime alone the juice squeezed directly from a ripe lime, with all the brightness and acidity that implies. This specificity of focus makes Absolut Lime the better choice for any cocktail where lime is the primary ingredient and clarity of citrus character is essential.

The Moscow Mule is the natural home: ginger beer’s warmth and spice contrasts perfectly with the crisp lime character, and the higher citrus intensity of a dedicated lime vodka creates more punch per ounce than unflavored vodka plus fresh lime juice. The same logic applies to any lime-forward cocktail: Margarita riff, Vodka Gimlet, or the Twisted Mule. No added sugar keeps the lime character clean and refreshing rather than sweet and syrupy.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Distinctly fresh-pressed lime tart and vibrant with the characteristic green, slightly bitter edge of fresh lime rather than sweetened lime cordial.
• Palate: Tangy lime flavor with a bold citrus kick and a slightly sweet finish from the natural lime character. The Absolut wheat base provides smoothness beneath the citrus intensity.
• Finish: Clean and refreshing with lingering lime. The natural lime character refreshes rather than cloying, exactly what a poolside or summer cocktail demands.
