Ever wondered, “Can a Margarita be made with vodka?” The answer? Absolutely! And trust us; they’re phenomenal.

Ready to dive into four insanely delicious and easy-to-make vodkaritas? Let’s do it!

Absolut Watermelon Vodkarita

Margaritas are already the epitome of summer but swap tequila for vodka and add some fresh watermelon juice and you’ve got a summer drink on a whole new level.

The Absolut Watermelon Vodkarita mixes Absolut Watermelon – our delicious watermelon-flavored vodka – fresh watermelon juice, lime juice, simple syrup, and a splash of orange liqueur.

Served in a salt-rimmed rocks glass and topped with a nice chunk of watermelon and a lime wedge, this drink is sweet, salty, zesty, and downright irresistible.

“I’m very impressed. It’s super fresh. I wouldn’t even say it’s a hint of watermelon; it’s a smack in the mouth of watermelon!”, says Ricardo ‘Rico’ Dynan, Bartender and Absolut Global Brand Ambassador. Take a word for it, it’s the summer Margarita you didn’t know you needed!

Check out our drink recipe for the Absolut Watermelon Vodkarita.

Absolut Wild Berri Vodkarita

Trade the sandy beaches of Mexico for the lush forests of Sweden and swap your Margarita for the Absolut Wild Berri Vodkarita. Okay, maybe that’s a bit of a stretch, but this cocktail perfectly fuses the sunny vibes of a classic Margarita with the enchanting allure of forest berries.

The Absolut Wild Berri Vodkarita combines the deliciousness of Absolut Wild Berri together with fresh lime juice, simple syrup, and orange curaçao, served in a salt-rimmed rocks glass, garnished with seasonal berries. It’s a vodka Margarita with a big, bold berry flavor!

The Vodkarita

One of the key elements of a classic Margarita is its zesty lime flavor, so we’ve crafted a Vodkarita with Absolut Lime to elevate that zest to a whole new level.

Simply called The Vodkarita, this twist on a Margarita combines Absolut Lime, lime juice, and agave nectar, and is served in a salt-rimmed glass, garnished with a lime wedge. You could say it’s the closest thing to a Margarita minus the tequila. What’s not to love?
