Advantages: Tastes nice. Very alcoholic. Disadvantages: Expensive.
...be finer.
Anyway, Absolut manufacture a range of vodkas. Most come in a pleasing frosted glass bottle with a silver screw top, apart from Absolut Raspberri which comes in a bright red clear glass bottle. They look slightly classier than the average alcohol bottle, which puts you at a clear advantage when you're bringing 20 or so to the bottle bank. Absolut is a Swedish brand, and no doubt there's a whole history of why theirs is the best, purest ... ...an insight to the average Absolut fuelled evening.
1st drink: Pleasantly warm sensation of general wellbeing.
2nd drink: Becoming more chatty. So great is the alcohol infused magnanimity that I can listen to dull people, agree, smile and not tell them they're dull. Brilliant. I lose the ability to text coherently.
3rd drink (half a bottle gone): I'm recounting amusing anecdotes of things I've done when drunk on vodka. I make anyone and everyone ...

Advantages: A gorgeous alternative to vodka Disadvantages: Get very drunk, very quickly (is this a disadvantage?)
...brought me a bottle of Absolut Vanilla Vodka to try. I love vodka (it doesn't like me too much!) and I love vanilla so I'm thinking I can't really go wrong with this one.
Coming in a frosted glass bottle, this vodka is definitely the best looking on the shelf. I've noticed that the vodka manufacturers seem to think minimalistic bottles suit this spirit, but one of the things I like about my drinks is a nice bottle. Most vodkas come in a plain glass ... ...bottle, clearly emblazoned with the Absolut name and quite a lengthy description of how this drink came into being. Because this bottle is the vanilla flavour the writing on the bottle is an off white colour, this is important because Absolut make a whole range of different flavour vodkas and they're all in basically the same bottle so looking at the colour of the writing will help you make sure you pick the right one up! More about the other flavours ...

Absolut Vanilia (not Absolut Vanilla) was first put on the market in 2003. This is flavoured vodka which does not have any added sugar. It has taste of light, fragrant vanilla and a kind of chocolatey smell too. This product is distilled in Ahus, in Sweden and is part of a whole range of flavoured Vodkas. Absolut Vodka is made from water and wheat before the vanilla flavouring is added. This is not just any wheat, it is a specific Swedish winter ... ...a premium product. The Absolut Vodka website provides cocktail recipes which you can make from all their vodka flavours and anyone wishing to investigate the possibilities can do so by visiting: www. absolut.com This vodka does tend to vary in price. The last bottle I bought was fromTesco and it cost me £9.98 but I have also seen it on sale in the same supermarket at £14.99. ...

Advantages: Clean taste with a stunning vanilla fragrance and taste Disadvantages: Hangover if drunk to excess
For me, Absolut Vanilla Vodka is a clean, fresh twist on traditional vodka and packs quite a punch at 40% proof. Its made from wheat and water so its clear, clean ingredients and less likely than darker drinks to leave you with a raging hangover. The bottle is ubber trendy and when you take the top off, there is a fabulous vanilla aroma. I store mine in the freezer so its ice cold and tastes even better. You can have it neat, but that's not for me, ... ...cocktails too including: ABSOLUT Vanilla Alexander ABSOLUT Vanilia in the Sky ABSOLUT Mark 7 ABSOLUT Black Vanilia Its website is full of loads of variations on these but my particular favourite is the French Vanilla Martini ! Here is my own particular version, tried and tested over the last few years: Get some friends together and have fun mixing up the following: - half punnet of fresh strawberries - half punnet of fresh rasperries - 50 ml Absolut ...

Advantages: Tastes great. Disadvantages: Easy too drink too much
...a vodka snob. And Absolut is my favorite, it is class like prada shoes are compared the ones on your local market.
The vanilla is no exception, it has a beautiful clear cut taste that you come to expect fromt the absolut brand. It can be drunk in many ways, a long drink on a summers day with lemonade and lots of ice (taste a bit like cream soda). With pepsi for a taste like vanilla coke (except for grown ups) OR if you are really brave neat on ice.
... ...surprised. It tickled my taste buds and make a warm path down to my belly.
It is a bit pricy, but i got mine duty free foe £10.00 for a litre. I can't see it lasting long in the drinks cabinet.
Just be careful though, you will like it so much you may end up drunk. The bottle is very appealing to look at, being made of frosted glass. ...
