Add a twist

- Swap lemon-lime soda for regular soda water, and you’ve got a fresh take on a classic Vodka Soda, with Absolut Pears stealing the spotlight.
- While our Absolut Pears Lemonade is garnished with a lemon wedge, why not opt for a lime wedge instead to enhance the lime notes in the lemon-lime soda?
- Experiment with garnishes by adding fresh basil leaves for sweet, herbal complexity or mint leaves for a cool, herbal twist. Plus, a touch of green not only adds a pop of color but also makes your drink look even more enticing!
- Sub Absolut Pears with Absolut Citron for lemon-on-lemon perfection, garnished with a lemon wedge. Prefer lime? Swap Absolut Pears for Absolut Lime and garnish with a lemon wedge for a lemon-lime soda twist on an Absolut Lime Soda.
- Create a tropical escape by replacing Absolut Pears with Absolut Mango. Lemon-lime soda and mango – so, so good! Add a mango slice for the perfect tropical touch.
- Sweeten things up by substituting Absolut Pears with Absolut Wild-Berri for a drink bursting with forest fruit notes. It’s a spin on an Absolut Wild-Berri Lemonade using lemon-lime soda instead of lemonade.
