Hibiscus Absolut Martini

A tiny village in southern Sweden with a population of around 9,400 is the individual source for all things Absolut Vodka. Ahus is the village that brings together local farmers and distillers to craft the consistently quality product that is Absolut Original. The constant commitment to exceptional quality sets Absolut apart from other mass-produced and self-proclaimed craft competitors. Despite being mass-produced Absolut is in fact a craft product. Absolut produces its neutral spirit using locally sourced wheat washed and distilled with water from a deep well within Ahus using a continuous distillation process introduced by the founding distiller Lars Olsen Smith in 1879 when Absolut was first distilled under the original brand name Absolut Brent Brvinâ (Absolute Pure Vodka). This creates a vodka that is great for blending cocktails. The natural ingredients used to make the vodka give it a rich, smooth, and mellow wheat flavor accompanied by hints of dried fruit enhancing everything from punches to martinis. The consistency of quality and flavor give this vodka versatility so that the consumer can drink it neat or make their favorite cocktail without uncertainty.

The recipe below is a hibiscus martini that highlights Absolut Original vodka without hiding the flavor. Hibiscus syrup is added to the vodka to elevate the typical Martini.  The tartness and sweetness of the syrup exemplify the dried fruit flavor notes of the vodka.
