Product details
Absolut Mandrin is a mandarin and orange flavoured vodka from Absolut in Sweden, bottled at 40% ABV in a 70cl bottle. It tastes juicier and softer than the brand's lemon and lime variants, with ripe mandarin and orange peel instead of sharp acidity. Note the spelling: the official name is Mandrin, not Mandarin. That fruity, rounded profile makes it an easy partner for orange juice, cranberry and soda, and it works for brunch drinks as well as evening highballs. We send Absolut Mandrin 70cl from our London shop to customers across the UK.
Absolut Mandrin tasting notes
- Nose: Ripe mandarin, sweet orange peel and a hint of blossom.
- Palate: Juicy and fruity, with tangerine segments, a touch of bitter peel and soft wheat.
- Finish: Medium length, zesty and lightly sweet.
How to drink Absolut Mandrin
Serve it over ice with soda water and an orange slice for a light aperitif, or chill it well and pour it with fresh orange juice at a weekend brunch. Orange-friendly food is the obvious match: duck with orange sauce, dark chocolate, almond biscuits or a citrus-dressed fennel salad. It also suits Christmas gatherings, where its clementine-like aroma sits comfortably beside mince pies and spiced nuts.

How it compares
Against Absolut Citron, Mandrin is softer and sweeter, trading lemon tartness for orange fruit. Absolut Mango moves further towards lush tropical sweetness, so Mandrin sits in the middle of the range for fruitiness. As a clear orange vodka with real peel character, it is the one to choose for Screwdrivers and orange-based sours.
Good to know
Absolut Mandrin is produced by The Absolut Company in Sweden and shares the wheat base of Absolut Blue. A 70cl bottle suits brunch parties and festive drinks trays, and it makes a cheerful Christmas present alongside a box of chocolate orange truffles.
