Absolut Grapevine is a smooth, fruit forward flavored vodka from Absolut, the world renowned brand produced and bottled in Åhus, Sweden. Introduced in 2012 as an evolution of the limited edition Absolut San Francisco, Grapevine quickly became a fan favorite for its distinctive and multi dimensional flavor: a blend of white grape, dragon fruit, and papaya. The choice of white grape is key, being the least sweet of grapes, it lends a bright, slightly sour edge that balances beautifully against the tropical sweetness of dragon fruit and papaya, all with no added sugar. The result is a delicate, floral, fruity vodka that is famously easy to mix, so versatile you can build a sophisticated drink just by adding one ingredient, and the label suggests a simple, refreshing serve with lemon lime soda. Like all Absolut, it is built on the brand's signature winter wheat vodka, made from natural ingredients and distilled in southern Sweden. Its artful bottle, decorated with wispy vines and fruit, is as eye catching as the liquid is approachable. Expect a clear pour with a delicate floral and white grape aroma, a smooth palate of crisp white grape, tropical dragon fruit, and soft papaya, and a clean, lightly fruity finish. Now discontinued and no longer in regular production, Grapevine is increasingly hard to find, making any remaining bottle a treat for fans of the flavor. Try it with lemon lime soda, in a fruity spritz, or in your favorite tropical cocktail. Please note this is a flavored vodka.
