Absolut Vanilla
The creamy vanilla vodka from Åhus. Smooth, lightly sweet and yet dry enough to mix: the quickest way to a well-rounded Espresso Martini or a smooth Pornstar Martini.
Absolut, but with vanilla
Absolut Vanilia is regular Absolut Vodka with natural vanilla flavors added. The base is the same: Swedish winter wheat and water from its own source in Åhus, continuously distilled into a clean, smooth vodka. The vanilla gives it a creamy aroma, with notes of toffee and caramel, while the vodka itself doesn't become syrupy or liqueur-sweet.
That puts Vanilia right between a neutral vodka and a liqueur. You don't need to add vanilla syrup to an Espresso Martini or Pornstar Martini, and with cola or ginger ale, you can quickly make a long drink with depth. At 38% alcohol, it's slightly lighter than regular Absolut, which is 40%.
In brief
Creamy, lightly sweet and yet crisp
Vanilla bean
Warm, rich vanilla that stands out immediately, with a hint of toffee and a soft grain note from the vodka underneath.
Caramel and cream
Soft and rounded on the palate. The sweetness is subtle, more like caramel than sugar, and the alcohol stays in the background.
Soft and short
A short, warm finish with the vanilla lingering briefly. Clean enough to pair with coffee or fruit.
Tasting profile of Absolut Vanilia neat and ice-cold. In a cocktail, the creaminess comes through most.
Three ways to drink Absolut Vanilia
Vanilia is a blending vodka. It’s at its best with coffee, tropical fruit, or simply with cola and plenty of ice.
Vanilia Espresso Martini
40 ml Absolut Vanilia, 30 ml fresh espresso and 20 ml coffee liqueur, shaken hard with ice and strained into a chilled coupe. The vanilla makes it creamier than the original.
View recipe →Vanilia & cola
50 ml Absolut Vanilia with 150 ml cola in a long drink glass filled with ice, garnished with a lime wedge. Tastes like vanilla cola, but for adults.
Long drink glasses →Neat over ice
Pour a few centiliters straight from the freezer over a large ice cube in a tumbler. The cold mellows the alcohol and brings out the vanilla and caramel.
