Absolut has always been about bold simplicity, clean ingredients, modern design, and iconic flavor. When Absolut Mandrin was introduced in 1999, it marked the brand’s fourth flavored expression, crafted to capture the vibrant essence of sun-ripened citrus. Inspired by the bright, zesty energy of mandarin oranges, this vodka offers a refreshing twist that’s as versatile as it is vivid, a true staple for those who like their spirits with a little extra zing.
