Few vodka bottles are as recognisable on a shelf as Absolut: its Swedish-pharmacy design without a conventional label has been synonymous with premium vodka for decades. The 700ml version at 40% ABV offers the same unmatched purity from Åhus winter wheat in the most manageable format for a home bar. It is the starting point for anyone who wants to begin with the world's most famous Swedish vodka without needing the full litre.

It works in all cocktails where a clean vodka with a soft grain character is the base. Use it in a Vodka Tonic, a dry Martini or simply over ice with a citrus touch to appreciate its most direct nature.
