The Absolut Passionfruit Martini is a new ready-to-drink cocktail that touts a bar-quality recipe to help consumers enjoy a premium refreshment without compromising. The cocktail comes in a gilded can with imagery that calls to mind the brand's recognizable 18th-century medicine bottle to help it stand out on store shelves more prominently. The drink will come in 12-packs in the UK and be supported by a mass marketing campaign taking place throughout the summer.
Brand Director at Pernod Ricard UK Marnie Corrigan commented on the Absolut Passionfruit Martini saying, "The popularity of vodka cocktails has accelerated and with two-fifths of consumers making cocktails at home, we’re confident that our new Absolut Passionfruit Martini RTD will exceed expectations for producing the perfect sparkling serve, every time. Absolut has become synonymous with the much-loved cocktail and it’s only natural that we’re launching a bar quality pre-mixed format. Of course in our opinion, it is an utterly delicious recipe and a great drink for enjoying at home with friends when you can’t make it out to your local trusted bartender.”
