Description
ABSOLUT RASPBERRY | BERRY-INFUSED VODKA
Introduced in 2004 after nearly two years of flavor trials, Absolut Raspberry captures the fragrance of Scandinavian summer berries without a gram of added sugar. Like every Absolut expression, the vodka begins with single-estate winter wheat and Bornholm limestone-filtered water, then enters a continuous-distillation system that yields “one-source” purity. Raspberry distillates, steam-extracted to preserve seed-oil nuances, are blended while the vodka rests at –5 °C, allowing oils to integrate before bottling.
Aroma opens with fresh raspberry jam, hinting at wild strawberries and a crisp squeeze of lemon. First sip is lushly aromatic rather than sweet; berry notes glide over the palate and resolve into a clean, pepper-tinged finish that invites creative mixing. Try a Nordic Cosmo: 40 ml Absolut Raspberry, 20 ml cranberry, 15 ml triple sec, 15 ml lime, vibrant pink, sugar-free backbone.

Eco-credentials: Distillery waste stillage feeds 300,000 pigs and cows annually, closing the agricultural loop. Absolut has cut water use per liter 24 % since 2010 and plans glass lightweighting that will shave 11 % of CO₂ per bottle by 2026.
