The Absolut vodka collection has been expanded by the brand to include a series of flavors that are perfect for enjoyment on their own thanks to their lower ABV and flavorful profile.
The spirits include the Absolut Nights Smoky Piña, Absolut Wild Berri and Absolut Tropical Fruit, which have 35%, 38% and 20% ABVs, respectively. The products are thus great for shooting on their own, as an ingredient in a shot recipe or even in a cocktail, depending on the preference of the person.
Director of Product Portfolio & Innovation Elin Furelid commented on the latest additions to the Absolut vodka collection saying, "The Absolut portfolio has been refreshed to deliver innovation across three different ranges, with tastes that are authentic and inspiring, offering our consumers exceptional new experiences. The launches bring with them new ways and occasions to enjoy the iconic flavour of Absolut to meet the changing tastes of consumers, whatever the occasion.”
