Absolut Tabasco Vodka is one of the most distinctive flavoured vodkas ever produced, bringing together the smooth Swedish vodka expertise of Absolut with the famous spicy character of Tabasco. Designed for cocktail enthusiasts and adventurous drinkers, it delivers a unique combination of clean spirit and savoury heat that stands out in the world of flavoured vodka.
Bottled at 38% ABV, this expression retains the crisp and approachable character associated with Absolut while introducing layers of chilli warmth and pepper spice. Unlike sweeter flavoured vodkas, Absolut Tabasco focuses on savoury complexity, making it an ideal choice for cocktails where spice and balance are important.
The spirit became particularly popular thanks to its connection with the Bloody Mary. By combining vodka and spice in a single bottle, it simplifies the creation of one of the world's most famous cocktails while still delivering plenty of flavour.
