3 Lime Vodka drinks YOU’LL LOVE
So, you’ve picked up a bottle of Lime Vodka – great choice! Here, we’ll show you how to make three incredibly delicious yet easy-to-make drinks using Absolut Lime.
Now, first, you might be wondering if there’s a difference between Absolut Lime and Absolut Vodka with Lime. Let’s ask Ricardo ‘Rico’ Dynan, Bartender and Absolut Global Brand Ambassador, shall we? “There’s quite a huge difference, to be honest. With Absolut Lime, you get the full flavor of Lime – you get the flavor of the flesh, you get the juice, you get the zest. However, you don’t get the experience of Lime.”
What does Rico mean by not getting the experience of Lime? “With Absolut Lime, you don’t have any added sugar or citric acid. So, without the sugar or the citric acid, you get the full flavor, but you don’t get the experience.”
So, now it’s time to grab your Citrus Elbow and get juicing some Limes and to mix some drinks with Absolut Lime!
Absolut Lime Vodkarita
An Absolut Lime Vodkarita contains just three ingredients – Absolut Lime, Fresh Squeezed Lime Juice, and Agave – but what a combination it is! To cap things off, it’s served in a Lime-rubbed, Salt-rimmed Glass, of course! It has to be!
The result? “It tastes like Fresh Lime with a real fresh citrus zing”, says Rico. In other words, it’s a summer essential. So simple yet so delicious. Discover how to make an Absolut Lime Vodkarita.
Absolut Lime Iced Tea
This delicious concoction mixes Absolut Lime, Freshly Squeezed Lime Juice. Cold Brew Iced Tea and Simple Syrup. Rico suggests garnishing it with his personal favorite garnish – a Lime Wheel. How does it taste? Tea-riffic, of course!
Tip! To make your Cold Brew Iced Tea, simply place a few Tea Bags in Cold Water and then put it in the refrigerator overnight or up to 10 hours. But maybe you’re wondering why we don’t just boil Tea as normal and then place it in the refrigerator. “When you Cold Brew Tea, you get a bit more of a floral flavor and you don’t release as many tannins,” Rico explains. Check out our Absolut Lime Iced Tea recipe.
Sit Down
Sit Down, straight-up. It might sound like a contradiction, but the Sit Down is a stiff drink served, well, straight-up. So, grab a couple of Martini Glasses for this one. Sit Down features three different alcohols – Absolut Lime, Calvados Apple Brandy, and the bitter herbal liqueur Amaro Ramazzotti – resulting in a mix of complex herbal and fruity flavors.
For this one, you’re going to want to put plenty of Ice in your Mixing Glass and stir until to perfection to give you the right amount of dilution. Be sure to watch the video on this page to see how. Here’s how to make a Sit Down cocktail.
