Absolut Ruby Red

Absolut Ruby Red was introduced in 2006, continuing the brand's tradition of citrus-flavored vodkas that began with Absolut Citron and Absolut Mandrin. Named after a special variety of red grapefruit, this vodka maintains the heritage of Lars Olsson Smith's 1879 innovation of continuous distillation. Produced exclusively in Åhus, Sweden, where Smith was born, Absolut Ruby Red combines the brand's signature smooth character with vibrant grapefruit flavor. The vodka is crafted from winter wheat grown locally in Åhus, which develops its distinctive hard grain under Swedish snow with minimal fertilizer use. Water sourced from a protected deep well in Åhus ensures purity. Unlike many flavored vodkas, Absolut Ruby Red contains no added sugar, relying instead on natural grapefruit flavoring to deliver its zesty, refreshing profile. The vodka has become a popular base for creative cocktails and pairs well with tonic for a simple yet exotic serve.

Produced using continuous distillation, the same revolutionary method introduced by Lars Olsson Smith in 1879. Base spirit made from winter wheat and pristine well water from Åhus. Natural grapefruit flavoring added post-distillation. Charcoal filtration ensures clarity and smoothness. No added sugar or artificial ingredients.
