Why Change What's Perfect?


In 1879, Lars Olsson Smith introduced the continuous distillation with which he made Absolut Rent Bränvin (Absolute Pure Vodka). Instead of the usual three or four times, the vodka was distilled an infinite number of times. 100 years later, it was reintroduced as ABSOLUT. Just as then, ABSOLUT is produced in Åhus, L.O. Smith’s birth town. Also the place where the wheat used for making the vodka is grown. And since the way ABSOLUT is made won’t change, neither will the true taste of vodka.

Absolut Kurant



The main ingredients in ABSOLUT KURANT are ABSOLUT VODKA and black currant flavor. ABSOLUT VODKA is made from water and winter wheat. The water comes from a deep well in Åhus where it’s protected from impurities. The winter wheat is also grown in Åhus and differs from other crops: it’s sown in fall, and harvested the next one. Days in between it grows under the Swedish snow developing its hard grain. Also, the use of fertilizers is minimized. Of course, the black currant is as natural as the rest of the ingredients

Kurant Vodka Yummi!



4 parts ABSOLUT Kurant
2 parts Triple Sec

Shake all ingredients with ice and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Squeeze the oil from a strip of orange zest, held skin downwards and over a flame above the glass. Rub the rim with the orange zest before dropping it into the glass. Garnish with lime.
