4 Drinks to Make with ABSOLUT® TABASCO™
Congratulations, fellow heat enthusiast! You’ve got your hands on a bottle of ABSOLUT® TABASCO™, our incredible new spicy flavored vodka — and there’s a lot you can do with it.
With ABSOLUT® TABASCO™, your next party just got a whole lot hotter.
What Drinks Can You Make with ABSOLUT® TABASCO™?
ABSOLUT® TABASCO™ brings the heat to all kinds of cocktails, however, we’ve got four fantastic drinks to get you started: a Spicy Bloody Mary, a Spicy Lemonade, a One Shot Mary, and a Spicy Vodkarita. Fancy something different? Try it in an ABSOLUT® TABASCO™ Vodka Sour instead.
One of these four isn’t really a cocktail at all — it’s a shot that’s hotter than hell. Let’s start with the classic it’s based on.
1. Spicy Bloody Mary with ABSOLUT® TABASCO™
A Spicy Bloody Mary is made with 45 ml ABSOLUT® TABASCO™, 150 ml tomato juice, 15 ml lemon juice and 10 ml Worcestershire sauce, plus a pinch each of salt and black pepper, served in a Cajun-rimmed highball glass.
The Bloody Mary is one of the most beloved savory cocktails and has been a staple at weekend brunches since the 1980s. Two of the key ingredients in a Bloody Mary are, of course, vodka and hot sauce.
Where a traditional Bloody Mary is made with Absolut Vodka, a Spicy Bloody Mary uses ABSOLUT® TABASCO™, meaning you get the hot sauce and vodka in one.
This twist on a Bloody Mary mixes ABSOLUT® TABASCO™ with tomato juice, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, ground black pepper, and salt. Served in a highball glass rimmed with Cajun spice and garnished with a lemon wedge and a celery stick, it’s the perfect Bloody Mary for those who like it hot!

2. Spicy Lemonade with ABSOLUT® TABASCO™
The Spicy Lemonade is a simple serve two-ingredient drink that mixes ABSOLUT® TABASCO™ with fresh homemade lemonade (yes, you’ll want to make your own lemonade).
Although it’s an easy to make drink, the nuances of ABSOLUT® TABASCO™ add a complexity that teases all the senses.
Like the Spicy Bloody Mary, the Spicy Lemonade is a built drink – no shaking or fancy bar tools needed. Served in a highball glass rimmed with Cajun spice, it’s zesty and spicy – a fiery sip that lingers.

3. One Shot Mary with ABSOLUT® TABASCO™
The One Shot Mary is a chilled shot of ABSOLUT® TABASCO™ followed by half a salted cherry tomato: a Bloody Mary in a single bite.
If you’re hosting a party, shots are a must. And if you’re looking to up the heat at your next party, try the One Shot Mary, which condenses the essential elements of a classic Bloody Mary into a quick burst of flavor.
Simply pour a shot of ABSOLUT® TABASCO™ and chase it with half a salted cherry tomato. One bite, all heat! It’s the ultimate way to spice up your party.

4. Spicy Vodkarita with ABSOLUT® TABASCO™
The Spicy Vodkarita reinvents the classic Margarita, swapping out tequila and dialing up the heat with ABSOLUT® TABASCO™.
Grab your cocktail shaker and get ready to fire up your taste buds. The Spicy Vodkarita mixes ABSOLUT® TABASCO™ with fresh lime juice and agave syrup. Serve it in a Cajun-spiced rocks glass for that extra zing.
Even though it’s a perfect drink to sip during the summer, its chili pepper heat will have you sweating no matter the season.
