Easy Lime Vodka Drinks That Everyone Loves

It’s no secret we love citrus, which is why we made Absolut Lime – our beloved lime-flavored vodka.

So, what does Absolut Lime taste like?

“With Absolut Lime, you get the full flavor of Lime – you get the flavor of the flesh, you get the juice, you get the zest,” explains Ricardo ‘Rico’ Dynan, Bartender and Absolut Global Brand Ambassador.

One of the best things about  lime vodka is its versatility. It adds a wonderful citrus freshness and zest to any drink. Just try it in a Lime Vodka Soda and you’ll see what we mean.

Below, we’ve got five incredible and easy to make cocktails with lime codka. So, grab your  citrus press or citrus elbow and let’s get squeezing!

1. Absolut Lime Cosmopolitan

The Cosmopolitan is one of the most popular and iconic modern cocktails around, famously linked to Absolut Citron, our delicious lemon-flavored vodka.

The classic Cosmo already features fresh pressed lime juice. So, imagine swapping the lemon-flavored vodka for lime and garnishing your drink with a lime wedge instead of orange zest. That’s right, the Absolut Lime Cosmopolitan takes lime to the next level. Here’s how to make a Cosmopolitan with Absolut Lime.

2. Lime Vodkarita

The Absolut Lime Vodkarita may only need three ingredients — Absolut Lime, fresh-squeezed lime juice, and agave — but it more than makes up for its short list with big, bright flavor.

“It tastes like fresh lime with a real fresh citrus zing”, says Rico. But to take things even further, be sure to serve the Absolut Lime Vodkarita in a lime-rubbed, salt-rimmed glass. It’s the taste of Mexico with a vodka twist, discover how to make an Absolut Lime Vodkarita.

3. Absolut Lime Iced Tea

Summertime means Iced Teatime. The Absolut Lime Iced Tea mixes Absolut Lime, fresh squeezed lime juice, cold brew iced tea and simple syrup. And it’s lime divine.

Tip! To make your cold brew iced tea, simply place a few tea bags in cold water and then put it in the refrigerator overnight or up to 10 hours. Check out our Absolut Lime Iced Tea recipe.

4. Sit Down

Sit Down is a stirred drink featuring three different alcohol types – Absolut Lime, calvados apple brandy, and Amaro Ramazzotti – a bitter herbal liqueur.

Served in an elegant Martini glass, the result is a mix of complex herbal and fruity flavors. The Sit Down offers a cocktail experience like no other. Discover the recipe for the Sit Down cocktail.

5. Absolut Lime Mule

Year after year, the Moscow Mule consistently ranks among the most popular cocktails, and 2024 was no exception, with the drink ranking as the third most popular cocktail of 2024.

Fresh squeezed lime juice gives the Moscow Mule its signature zesty character, so when you use Absolut Lime instead of Absolut Vodka, the flavor of lime takes center stage and blends perfectly with the spiciness of the ginger beer. Welcome to your new favorite Mule. Here’s how to make a Mule with Lime Vodka.
