Introducing the 8th addition to the Absolut Limited Editions portfolio, Absolut Texas celebrates the larger than life feeling and bold personalities that make the Lone Star State so great. Absolut Texas was designed as a celebration of all the best that contemporary Texas has to offer. It is the first Limited Edition dedicated to a State.

Absolut vodka with cucumber and Serrano chili flavor
The taste is rich and smooth with notes of fresh cucumber, and a warm spicy character; a flavor inspired by Southwestern cuisine, which is as unique and authentic as Texas. It pairs well with a myriad of ingredients, such as cranberry, cilantro and grapefruit soda.

The bottle artwork has been created in collaboration with internationally renowned contemporary artist Cruz Ortiz from San Antonio. The design features a modern spin on iconic Texas imagery, including a cowboy boot against a stylized Texas landscape and his take on the Texas Star. The bottle also features Absolut founder Lars Olsson Smith wearing a cowboy hat, marking only the second time in the brand’s history in which Smith’s logo has been altered.

Absolut has a great history of working with creative talents and Cruz Ortiz was the perfect match for Absolut Texas. Cruz Ortiz, born 1972, lives and works in San Antonio, Texas, and uses print, performance, and film in his work. Cruz has been invited to participate in many major international exhibitions at institutions such as the Louvre in Paris, France and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
