Review: Absolut Miami Limited Edition Vodka
Review: Absolut Miami Limited Edition Vodka
Absolut’s sixth city-inspired flavor takes us to the sunny shores of Miami, where no doubt plenty of vodka is consumed alongside all the rum that goes down there.
Absolut flavors this one with passion fruit and orange blossoms, two great tastes that go great together… and that go great together with vodka. The nose is heady with citrus, but it’s the distinct passion fruit character that cuts through the most succinctly. The orange is there in the body, but it’s an afterthought next to that really ripe and fruity passion fruit flavor. The body is solid, with a minimal medicinal aftertaste. Altogether it’s got a great balance of fruit and punchiness.
I’m a fan of Skyy Passion Fruit Vodka and this flavored version is about on par with it. All measure of tropical- or citrus-flavored recipes would benefit from using Absolut Miami in the recipe. Absolut suggests trying it in a Mojito or, one that sounds even more enticing, a “South Beach Breeze” with pineapple and orange juices.
80 proof.

If you had to pick one……Absolut Miami or Skyy Passion Fruit….which would you choose and why? I’d like to try them but only need one
thanks!
For making tropical drinks or punch, probably the Skyy — it’s cheaper, easier to find, and will be on the market longer. But the Absolut is more of a conversation piece, for sure.
