Common questions
Still looking for tips and inspiration for Absolut Vanilia in the Sky? We’ll leave you with these common questions.
Yes, you can use a raspberry purée instead of freshly muddled raspberries. A purée can be a good option for those who like a smoother taste. However, fresh raspberries add an authentic flavor to the drink.
While you can use any glass you love, a highball glass is a good choice as it allows enough space for all the ice you need. If you’d prefer a short glass with less ice, or something a little fancier, shake and strain the drink into a martini or coupe glass.
If you don’t have any Absolut Vanilia, you could use original Absolut Vodka and a dash of vanilla essence. But for an authentic cocktail with a more subtle flavor, we’d always recommend Absolut Vanilia when making this cocktail.
