PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Absolut Citron is a classic citrus-flavored vodka that brings bright lemon and lime notes without overwhelming sweetness. It’s smooth enough for sipping, but versatile enough to elevate cocktails. If you enjoy vodka with a clean citrus twist, this is a dependable, high-quality option. If you prefer more subtle or natural flavors (less candy, more nuance), it may feel a bit “on the nose” in simpler settings.
Produced by Absolut in Åhus, Sweden, using their base vodka made from winter wheat and pure well water.
Flavored with natural lemon (and lime) essences. Absolut emphasizes that it contains no added sugar (i.e. the citrus flavor comes from real fruit components, not just sweet additives).
Bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof), as is standard for Absolut’s flavored vodkas.
| Element | Notes |
|---|---|
| Nose / Aroma | Fresh lemon zest, candied citrus peel, and a hint of lime. Very citrus-forward with a clean alcohol presence. |
| Palate / Taste | Crisp citrus—lemon and lime dominate, with a light sweetness and a touch of creaminess. The vodka base remains neutral and does not overpower the citrus. |
| Finish | Clean, with lingering lemon & lime, a mild tingle, and minimal aftertaste—stays fresh rather than heavy. |
Cocktails:
• Cosmopolitan (classic use)—lemon twist enhances the cranberry & citrus blend
• Lemon Drop Martini—straightforward showcase of its citrus character
• Vodka & soda / tonic + a lemon or lime wedge—clean and refreshing
• Citrus-based or sparkling fruit cocktails
Food Pairings:
• Fresh seafood, especially shellfish or ceviche—citrus complements brine & freshness
• Salads or appetizers with citrus vinaigrette, goat cheese, herbs
• Light, citrusy desserts (lemon tart, key lime pie)
• Salty snacks (olives, nuts) — salt enhances the citrus brightness

"Features a bright, pleasantly familiar orange-lemon lollipop scent and fresh, clean and brisk flavors, with most of the lemon in the finish. Balanced, with the right amount of alcohol bite. A sure classic for vodka tonics." 98 Points Wine Enthusiast
