The History of Absolut Haring Fizz 

The Absolut Haring Fizz was created in 2025 by the Absolut Drinks team as one of three signature cocktails for the launch of Absolut Haring.

With its unique inclusion of Sesame-Washed Vodka, the drink was inspired by Keith Haring’s love for Asian cuisine.

The Absolut Haring Fizz is the main signature drink and is an elevated serve, with the Absolut Haring Collins being a shaken serve, and the Absolut Haring Screw a simple serve.

Tips for Making the Perfect Absolut Haring Fizz 

• Prep in advance
  The Absolut Haring Fizz is a cocktail that takes quite a bit of preparation, so make sure to plan ahead. If you’re aiming to serve it on Saturday, get all your prep done the night before.

• Juice your fruits
  While it’s tempting to grab store-bought Orange, Apple, and Lemon Juice, you should juice your own fruits, as it will make for a much better drink. Trust us!
  
  Use a regular Blender for the Apples, and a Citrus Elbow for the Lemons and Oranges.

Serving and Garnish Ideas for the Absolut Haring Fizz
