Absolut Vanilla Vodka

Absolut Vanilia (yes, they spell it that way) brings a smooth, sweet vanilla character that works as a shortcut in dozens of cocktails. It’s the base for a proper Vanilla Espresso Martini and pairs naturally with chocolate liqueurs, coffee, and cream. Mixed with root beer, it tastes almost exactly like a cream soda. Absolut uses natural vanilla from Madagascar, which gives it a cleaner flavor than some competitors. At 80 proof, it’s full-strength vodka, not a wimpy flavored spirit. Use it anywhere you’d normally add both vodka and vanilla extract.
