sportsweek's Full Review: Absolut Vodka Citron - 1 liter
Being born and raised on bourbon I don't know where this infatuation with the Vodka Martini as blossomed from but I'm not complaining. Somewhere along the way while out with some friends I was convinced to give one a try, that martini happened to be made with Absolut Citron and the rest, as they say, is history.
As the name suggests Citron's predominate flavor is citrus which somehow perfectly blends with vodka. If you have tried vodka drinks before but didn't like them, you might just enjoy this. There's just a hint of something a little sweeter than you'll find in other vodka's which simply makes it more palatable.
Martini's are by far my favorite vodka drink but I've had Citron with a Vodka tonic and a screwdriver and enjoyed both. (I must add that a screwdriver so completely drains the taste of the vodka though you might want to go with a less expensive choice there.) My wife also loves the martini hybrid known as the cosmopolitan made with citron. This is essentially a martini with cranberry juice which I actually find quite tasty myself.
Citron is also a very popular choice which makes it the excellent choice to have in your home even if you are not personally a vodka drinker. Your guests will thank you for it and probably stop saying those terrible things about you behind your back. "He seems so successful I can't believe he's sitting there serving us Gordon's."
All in all I would have to say that Absolut Citron is the perfect vodka selection. A great gift for anyone you know who enjoys a good martini, and a great beverage for yourself to enjoy when you're in the mood for something a little different.
