Product details
Absolut Lime is a lime flavoured Swedish vodka from Absolut, bottled at 40% ABV in a 70cl bottle. The flavour recalls freshly pressed lime with a slightly sweet, fruity edge, and like the rest of the range it is made with natural flavourings on a wheat vodka base. It keeps the same 40% strength as Absolut Blue, so it can replace plain vodka in any recipe that already calls for lime. Home bartenders like it because this lime vodka adds citrus brightness without cutting fresh fruit for every glass. Wodka Company can send Absolut Lime 70cl to your door anywhere in the UK.
Absolut Lime flavour profile
- Nose: Freshly cut lime and zesty peel, with a faint herbal edge.
- Palate: Tangy and juicy, with lime juice, a suggestion of lime leaf and soft grain.
- Finish: Clean and tart, fading to a gentle fruity sweetness.
The lime character in this flavoured vodka is green and lively rather than candied, and the spirit itself is clear.
Serving Absolut Lime
Serve it cold over plenty of ice with soda water, ginger beer or a light tonic, or keep it in the freezer for a crisp aperitif. If you are wondering what to mix with Absolut Lime beyond soda, coconut water and pineapple juice both work well. On the food side it goes with fish tacos, ceviche, Thai-style salads and grilled chicken with chilli and coriander, which makes it a natural choice for a summer barbecue.
Absolut Lime cocktails
- Lime Mule: 50 ml Absolut Lime in a copper mug or tall glass with ice, topped with 120 ml ginger beer and a lime wedge.
- Lime Rickey: 45 ml Absolut Lime and 15 ml fresh lime juice over ice in a highball, topped with 120 ml soda water.
- Caipiroska: half a lime cut into wedges and muddled with 10 ml sugar syrup in a rocks glass, then 50 ml Absolut Lime and crushed ice, stirred well.
How it compares
Absolut Citron is the lemon counterpart, rounder and less sharp, whereas Lime has a greener, tarter bite. Absolut Mandrin is sweeter and more orange-led, so Lime is the better pick for drinks that need acidity. Using Lime instead of Absolut Blue in a simple highball saves squeezing fruit and keeps the drink bright.
Good to know
The Absolut Company makes Absolut Lime in Sweden on the same wheat spirit as the rest of the range. A 70cl bottle is a practical size for summer parties, and a bottle with a bag of limes and some ginger beer makes a thoughtful host gift.
