Absolut is about to draw the map of the whole world with flavours as soon as poossible—the pace it keeps to add new vodkas to the “geography” portfolio signals about it. The iconic alcohol brand has unveiled Absolut Texas, which is the first-ever only state-inspired flavor and the latest addition to the range of U.S.-inspired vodkas. The launch of the bottle, dedicated to the “lone star state,” follows the release of Absolut Australia last week.

Absolut’s world map has been recently extended with the launch of the new “geo-centric” bottle created in collaboration with the recognized film director Baz Luhrmann, born in Australia. The new edition, Absolut Oz, pays tribute to the home land of this cinema guru. It is also the first bottle in the range inspired by iconic global destinations that celebrates Australia.

Pernod Ricard has taken the at-home mixology experience to new heights by introducing Project Gutenberg, a digitally connected and beautifully designed library of spirits.

ABSOLUT is launching a new vodka flavor and bottle inspired by the unique visual language of Latin America. The ABSOLUT Karnival limited edition has been developed to demonstrate the vibrating nature of one of the most spectacular events, carnivals. The design of the new bottle was created by Brazilian graphic novel artist and writer Rafael Grampá, who is collaborating with the vodka brand on its ongoing Transform Today campaign.
