The Bar Journal

For thousands of years, oolong—or ―black dragon,  tea has inspired kings and cultures all over the world.

Now, its dark tones and mysterious richness have been introduced to the wild, delicate character of Nordic elderflower and harmonized with a smooth, mellow vodka base in AbsolutWild Tea.

Absolut Wild Tea has a fresh aroma with hints of black tea, elderflower, red apples and citrus and a rich and fruity taste with tones of natural sweetness and smoothness.

The Aim was to develop exciting flavours that inspire consumers and bartenders to mix fantastic drinks. It was this creative urge that inspired the company to introduce Absolut Citron in 1988, at a time when none had thought about flavoured vodka.

The iconic Absolut bottle is instantly recognizable, this time with a black and golden decor, referring to the sophisticated black tea, and the fresh, fruity elderflower.

I tried a drink recently with Absolut Wild Tea to better understand the profile of this vodka in mixing drink, here we go the recipe:
