Absolut Ruby Red

Absolut Ruby Red...

When faced with sweltering heat — as Calgarians have been as of late — the after-work cocktail is more important than ever. And the best way to help quench that thirst that’s been building since those mexi-fries you had for lunch is to add some citrus. Enter the latest offering from the makers of Absolut vodka: Absolut Ruby Red, Alberta’s only grapefruit-flavoured vodka. • • • • •

THE TASTE Flavoured vodka is nothing new. In fact, looking at the mountain of fused spirits on the shelves of the local liquor store can be quite intimidating. But this is not necessarily a bad thing. Manufacturers would not be continuing to make them if they weren’t popular, so adding some zip can be good. • • • • • WHAT TO EXPECT: Easy to mix, smooth, fruity and delicious — the distinct character of ripe grapefruits will provide a unique foundation for new signature cocktails. Ruby Red will add a unique twist to any classic cocktail and will give classic grapefruit drinks like Sea Breeze and Greyhound a full-bodied flair.
