Prefer your Bloody Mary extra spicy? Absolut Vodka and TABASCO have joined forces for a new bottle that’s set to fire up favourite cocktails as you know them.
Absolut TABASCO blends classic Absolut Vodka with a completely natural essence created from the same fermented, aged red pepper mash used to make TABASCO Sauce. TABASCO’s signature red peppers are mashed, aged and fermented in oak barrels before their flavour is carefully captured and fused with Absolut’s smooth vodka base.
Absolut itself is crafted from just three ingredients: pristine well water, yeast, and winter wheat. It is still distilled in Åhus, Sweden, using a process that hasn’t changed since the 1870s.
Together, these two powerhouse products deliver the unmistakable peppery aroma TABASCO fans love and a heat that finishes warm on the lips.
A bottle you’ll want on your shelf
The bottle is a showstopper. Bold TABASCO colours and its iconic diamond label wrap around Absolut’s unmistakable apothecary-style bottle.
It feels familiar and new all at the same time – and it’s the kind of bottle that deserves front row in your bar cart.
