Vodka and TABASCO™ are two of the key ingredients in a classic Bloody Mary, so bringing them together in one bottle feels like a match made in cocktail heaven.

A brunch staple across the U.S. for decades, the Bloody Mary already brings plenty of character – ABSOLUT® TABASCO™ just turns the volume up.

Ingredients:

• 1 Part ABSOLUT® TABASCO™
• 3 Parts tomato juice
• 5 Dashes of Worcestershire sauce
• ½ Part lemon juice
• 1 Pinch salt

Spicy Lemonade

When the heat of summer meets the heat in the glass, Spicy Lemonade makes a strong case for keeping things simple.

Built with ABSOLUT® TABASCO™ and fresh lemonade, it’s bright, zesty and balanced with just enough spice to give it real character.

Served over ice in a highball glass with a Cajun-spiced rim, it’s an easy summer serve with a little extra attitude.

Ingredients:

• 1 part ABSOLUT® TABASCO™
• 4 parts lemonade
• Lemon wheel, to garnish
• Cajun spice, to rim

ABSOLUT® TABASCO™ and olive brine bring the savory depth, while the result stays briny, bold and full of attitude – simultaneously elegant yet edgy.

One Shot Mary

Not every spicy cocktail needs to be a long drink.

The One-Shot Mary takes the spirit of a Bloody Mary and compresses it into one fiery shot. It’s a shot with structure: heat first, then a salty cherry tomato finish.

Serve ABSOLUT® TABASCO™ as a shot and chase it with a salted cherry tomato. The perfect party shot when you want to turn up the heat.

Ingredients:

• 1 Shot ABSOLUT® TABASCO™
• Half a cherry tomato
• Flaky sea salt

Spicy Vodkarita

A Margarita without the tequila, but very much with the fire.

The Spicy Vodkarita swaps in ABSOLUT® TABASCO™ for a vodka-based twist on a classic Margarita. Lemon juice and agave syrup keep the drink bright and balanced, while the chili pepper vodka brings a clean, lingering heat that gives the cocktail its edge.

It’s sharp, citrus-led summer drink, made for anyone who likes their Margarita with a little more bite. Taco night just got hotter.

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ parts ABSOLUT® TABASCO™
• 1 part Lemon juice
• 3⁄4 part Agave syrup
• Cajun spice, to rim
• Lime wedge, to garnish
• Chili slice, to garnish (optional)
