Next time you’re in the US check out the latest launch from Absolut – Absolut Wild Tea.

Inspired by the growing popularity of tea as a cocktail ingredient, the vodka is flavoured with oolong tea and Nordic white elderflower, for a mixture of aromatic richness and fresh, slightly citrusy fruitiness. Flavours are all-natural with no added sugar and recommended for matching with sweet/sour flavours such as in a Gimlet-style drink with iced lime juice and sugar syrup.

They’re also currently test-driving two other variants in Duty Free and select European markets: Absolut Watkins, with notes of ground coffee, almond, caramel and chilli, and a super-premium variety called Absolut Elyx.
