Absolut Citron Lemon Flavoured Swedish Vodka, 70 cl

Product Information

When this smooth lemon vodka hit the market 35 years ago it quickly became – and still is – our best-selling flavored vodka. Now, was it that Absolut Citron inspired the creation of the Cosmopolitan, one of the world’s best known modern cocktails, that brought it fame? It's best with soda and juice highballs—from the vodka tonic to the madras—and is a fun addition to fruity martinis such as the lemon drop. A pitcher of lemonade is fine, but we prefer this lemon-lime vodka party punch to take things to the next level. Or simply that Absolut Citron both enhances a wide selection of drinks and works brilliantly on its own just by adding ice?

This sweet liqueur makes the perfect addition to a classic Moscow mule, giving it a fresh, citrus taste. For instance, citrus peels are full of flavor, so they require a shorter infusion time than a milder fruit like pineapple. And it only requires three ingredients; vodka, lemon juice, and Cointreau (or you can use Triple Sec).A vegetable peeler is an excellent way to quickly get peels from a lemon without the bitter pith, and you can juice the remaining fruit for another use to avoid waste. The best part of making cocktails at home, is that you get to decide the strength of all the flavors. For instance, you can use any vodka you like, stop the infusion when it reaches your desired taste, sweeten it slightly, or use a custom blend of two or more citrus fruits. The iconic GREY GOOSE® Vodka Martini Cocktail is made with dry vermouth and orange bitters, served with a lemon twist.

Since I like my cocktails a little bit sparkly, I’ve combined most of the same ingredients for my cocktail, with some soda water!The lemon vodka cocktail is an instant classic that’s perfect for lovers of the bright, tart, yellow fruit. Lemons make everything better, from chicken dishes to baked goods and everything in between – including cocktails. To soften your homemade 80-proof citrus vodka to this strength, make a light simple syrup using two parts water and one part sugar and add 5 ounces or so (about 2/3 cup) to the strained vodka until it reaches your desired taste. Shake the lemon vodka with your favorite lemonade and top it off with as much prosecco as your heart desires.
