Product details
Absolut Pears is a pear flavoured Swedish vodka from Absolut, bottled at 38% ABV in a 70cl bottle. It aims for the taste of a fresh, ripe pear rather than cooked or candied fruit, and the brand says it is made from natural ingredients. The delicate orchard character suits sparkling serves and cooler-weather drinks with ginger or elderflower. This pear vodka is a good bottle for drinkers who find tropical flavours too sweet and prefer something gentle and fragrant. Wodka Company delivers Absolut Pears across the UK from London.
Absolut Pears tasting notes
- Nose: Fresh-cut pear, a hint of green apple skin and light floral notes.
- Palate: Soft and juicy, with ripe Williams-style pear and gentle sweetness.
- Finish: Clean, delicate and lightly fruity.
The fruit in this flavoured vodka is subtle, so strong mixers such as cola mask it easily; lighter partners keep the pear in focus.
What to mix with Absolut Pears
Serve it chilled over ice with soda water, ginger ale or an elderflower tonic, using a large wine glass to let the aroma gather. It pairs well with blue cheese, walnuts, a pear and rocket salad or a slice of frangipane tart. Its orchard profile fits harvest suppers, October Sunday lunches and relaxed drinks around the fire.

How it compares

For a similar orchard character from another brand, Cîroc Apple is crisper and greener, with hints of vanilla and citrus on a grape base. Absolut Watermelon shares the light, fresh style but leans towards summer rather than autumn.
