A coupla new variants in the Absolut line – Orient Apple, as well as Watkins.
Golden apple wrapped by ginger leaves
The Orient Apple (40%, 75cl) is the latest, just launched in May in Frankfurt, and sales are restricted to travel retail for now. Havent tried it, but it claims to merge the crisp sweetness of fresh apples with the deep spicy aroma of ginger.
It’s got no added sugar or artificial flavour enhancers. The apple graphic appears to float in the bottle due to an optical effect.
Cute
Watkins (40%, 1 liter) launched in January, and is a limited edition, exclusive to travel retail, as the target group is global travelers. Decor of the Watkins bottle was created by Swedish fashion illustrator and artist, Liselotte Watkins.
It’s flavours are of reshly ground coffee with notes of almond, caramel and chili. Chili??
Its suggested mix is cola. Not for me. Cinnamon Chic sounds interesting – which is Watkins, lime juice and sum cinnamon syrup. Shake with ice and serve.
Regionally, the Watkins is available at Changi Airport in Singapore now, and Kuala Lumpur International sometime this year.
Watkins is actually pretty good with coke though. haha.
There’s also one more apparently – Absolut Wild Tea, which I had no idea about…
Not really into Coke in my booze man. Tx for the update. The link to Wild Tea here. From the description, its gonna taste like vodka n teh bunga. I’ll pass. The only tea i like is Long Island, and there’s not even any tea in it
