Absolut Watermelon
Watermelon vodka from Åhus with no added sugars and no artificial flavourings. Fresh and soft, made for highballs with tonic and for a large pitcher on the table.
Watermelon, but without sugar
Absolut Watermelon is vodka from The Absolut Company with a fresh, soft taste and rich notes of sweet watermelon. What makes it different from many fruity drinks: no sugars have been added and it contains no artificial flavourings. The sweetness you taste comes from the watermelon flavour, not from a bag of sugar.
That makes Watermelon a true mixing vodka for summer. The brand recommends soda or tonic, in a highball with plenty of ice, or in a large pitcher to share with a group. At 38% alcohol, it is at the same level as most other Absolut flavours.
In brief
Juicy, soft and summery
Sweet watermelon
A fresh aroma of ripe, juicy watermelon. Soft and inviting, without the bubblegum note of sweets.
Fresh and soft
Soft on the palate, with rich notes of sweet watermelon. Because no sugar has been added, it stays light and fresh.
Light and short
A short, fresh finish. That keeps a highball with tonic thirst-quenching rather than heavy.
