Following the launch of Absolut Pepper in 1986, this smooth lemon flavored vodka hit the market two years later and quickly became our best selling flavored vodka. Actually, it still is.
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? Or that the most influential trend setters started ordering "Cosmos" in the coolest bars and clubs? Or simply that Absolut Citron both enhances a wide selection of drinks and works brilliantly on its own just by adding ice? Honestly, we are not entirely sure, but nevertheless very happy to have Absolut Citron in the limelight of the flavored vodka scene.
Citron's bouquet sings with fresh, vibrant, lemon zest right from the opening bell; the prototypical citrus-flavored vodka bouquet. Palate entry is so clean and effortless that you just want to consume more immediately; at midpalate, there's a rush of lemon zest and oil. The distillers reached the ideal degree of flavor balance, without submerging the vodka presence. - Paul (6/1/2004) - 90-95: Superb/Highly Recommended
