Yesterday the new limited edition Absolut Vodka was presented in Turkey. The new bottle is called ABSOLUT ISTANBUL and it’s the second european limited edition bottle in Absolut Cities series. First one was ABSOLUT LONDON. The bottle itself comes in 700ml version and should be already available in the stores.
Absolut Vodka is rolling out so many new flavors and limited editions that it’s starting to be little bit confusing. Anyway the ABSOLUT MIAMI is comming to town! “The liquor blends passion fruit and orange blossoms, debuts on December 8 and will be presented during Art Basel events in Wynwood that will be followed by a three-month promotional tour throughout the region.”
“The product will be available in retail on New Year’s Day and will remain in shelves until at least the spring. The drink’s ad campaign features a tagline: Dusk Till Dawn, just like how the Magic City rocks” (source: popsop.com)

Today, the world’s most iconic vodka announces the launch of ABSOLUT SF, the latest limited-edition, city-inspired flavor. Capturing the unique cultures, ethnicities and culinary delights of San Francisco, ABSOLUT SF features an innovative blend of grape, dragon fruit and papaya that entices spirits drinkers with a bold flavor when mixing a perfect cocktail. Just as the flavors blend beautifully to create a unique vodka expression, ABSOLUT SF will blend the voices of San Franciscans as they share their stories of life in the City by the Bay on the campaign’s integrated Facebook
What about TULOSBA AKDOV NOITIDE NOISULLI (Absolut Vodka Illusion Edition) or ABSOLUT ORIENT APPLE? Looks like some new Absolut bottles for your collection :) First one comes with classic Absolut Vodka design but all text and logo is mirrored. See detailed image here. Second one will be for sure new worldwide flavor (if it will be produced). Design of Absolut Illusion Edition and logo of Absolut Orient Apple were already registered by Absolut Vodka. (U.S. federal trademark registration applied on December for Illusion Edition and in October for Orient Apple).
I’m back from my holiday and new flavored Absolut Vodka arrived. Absolut Wild Tea. Rich, fresh aroma with hints of black tea, elderflower, red apples and citrus. The taste is rich and fruity with tones of black tea, natural sweetness and smoothness.
So another Absolut City Limited Edition flavor (Absolut Boston) has been modified for public release. (First one could be Absolut Mango after success of Absolut New Orleans followed by Absolut Berri Acai originaly known as Absolut Los Angeles.)

And still more to come. Absolut San Francisco vodka will debut later this year – and although the details of the exciting new flavor blend is yet to be released, the profile will be more of a ‘wine country’ grape flavor.
