When we set out to create a new country-specific limited edition, we found inspiration in what makes Poland unique. It’s hard not to be inspired by Poland, whose passion for independence is matched only by a strong sense of common purpose.
To really bring modern Poland to the bottle, we chose Swanski to collaborate, as he has a way of bringing his own unique stamp to everything from graphic design to fashion to painting.
The design mixes Polish pop culture with a retro feel, resembling the posters that can be seen in Warsaw, the demonstrations on the streets or just a concert at a club.
Polakom. For the Poles. By Absolut.
Grape, dragon fruit and papaya. The flavors of Absolut San Francisco were an homage to the cultural and ethnic diversity of the city, each with its own special meaning; the grape representing the Wine Country, the dragon fruit a wave to SF’s Asian community and the papaya a shout-out to the city’s Latin residents.
Absolut San Francisco’s limited-edition bottle was designed with a “freedom of expression” theme in mind. An illustration of San Fran’s famous cityscape, featuring the Golden Gate bridge, was included on the label. Visible from the reverse side of the bottle were mock protest signs shouting slogans like “Speak up!” and “Be Proud!”. Ideals the people of San Francisco hold true to their hearts.
As a parting gift to express our love for San Francisco we donated $50,000 to Habitat for Humanity Greater San Francisco – an organization that focuses on building families a future in the Bay Area.
Vodka on The Rock (well, near enough).

To create Absolut Oak, we developed a bespoke process of first steeping the vodka in oak chips, then cask-ageing it in Swedish, French, and American oak barrels.
During this process, our vodka experienced a transformation we’ve never seen before.
The appearance shifted from clear to a sumptuous dark-gold tint. Complex but subtle, the taste made it a vodka like no other.
Its deep and rich character made perfect for composing cocktails previously reserved for darker spirits, thanks to its distinctive flavor notes.
The innovation behind Absolut Oak made it a flavor that challenged people to forget what they knew about vodka.
Absolut Oak barrel crafted Vodka is the brand’s very own classy interpretation of the very modern area of barrel crafted vodkas. Absolut use the traditional craft of resting spirit in handmade oak barrels, along with a bespoke process of steeping vodka in oak chips.
Absolut 72 Bian, featuring the work of young Chinese artist Gao Yu, was our first limited edition bottle for China.
Gao Yu’s design was inspired by the ancient Chinese fable, “Journey to the West,” a heroic story about the monkey king Sun Wukong who acquires the power to undergo 72 transformations (or 72 bian). Using his fearlessness and creativity, he is able to overcome all obstacles.
As 2010 is the year of the Tiger according to the Chinese calendar, Mr. Gao added tiger stripes to the monkey king’s face as a nod to the traditions.
Despite our geographical distance and cultural differences, we can genuinely relate to the history of an icon, in constant transformation, making progress by being bold and creative.
Palm trees, flamingos, music and martini glasses. When designing this passion fruit and orange blossom flavored vodka, we wanted to take you on an adventure from dusk till dawn through the city, the sunny beaches, the vibrant nightlife and the never-ending parties defining the hot spot that is Miami. Looking at the end result, we’d like to think we succeeded.
Apart from the usual – but unexpectedly spectacular Absolut parties (if we may brag a bit), Absolut Miami played host to a number of events and artistic experiences throughout the city, inviting Miamians to join in the celebration and further extending the design concept of “from dusk till dawn”.
We have much love for the Sunshine State and the city of energy. There’s even a bottle to prove that.
Designed by legendary mixologist Nick Strangeway, is set for professional bartender use only. The exclusive range – consisting of Herbaceous Lemon, Bitter Cherry and Smokey Tea – debutted in select bars in the UK, Sweden and the USA.
A different take on how we offered our limited editions, Absolut Craft was a product designed specifically for the global bartending community and made available exclusively to bartenders in select bars and restaurants around the world.
Developed in close partnership with mixology extraordinaire, Nick Strangeway, Absolut Craft comprised a small-batch of three unique flavors, painstakingly curated by Nick and our team over two years.
Herbaceous Lemon: made with a blend of lemon verbena, lemon thyme and lemon myrtle.
Smokey Tea: a gentle, smokey flavour that came from an infusion of Lapsang Souchong tea, hints of orange peel, cloves and ginger.
Bitter Cherry: an authentic cherry flavour, countered by notes of bitter, dark chocolate.
Matching these sophisticated new flavors, we gave the Absolut Craft bottles a subtle silver-grey metallic coating, inspired by Victorian medicine flasks.
One master bartender. Two years. Three unique flavors. And only 2500 bottles. We’re very proud of this one.

What do you get for a country’s 150th birthday? A limited edition Absolut bottle sounded like an ideal gift from us.
Much like Absolut, Canada has a long history of diversity, inclusiveness and innovation. So to help us celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday, we sought someone who exemplifies those same values to collaborate with us on a limited edition Absolut bottle – Canadian textile artist Libs Elliott.
An innovator at heart, Libs is famous for creating unique quilts using age-old methods blended with cutting edge technology. Each quilt ends up being a one-of-a-kind variation of colour, shapes and fabric – a fitting metaphor for Canada. “We’re also all these different pieces, shapes and colours,” says Libs, “with different beliefs, customs and values – but we all somehow fit together.”
Her Absolut Canada bottle design – created through the same process as her quilt-making – features traditional Canadian motifs and colours to reflect the pride we all shared in this special anniversary. It was also a fitting way for Absolut to celebrate Canada’s rich heritage while looking forward to what lies ahead of us.
Happy birthday Canada! Here’s to 150 years of forward thinking.

When we confirmed our collaboration with Berlin-based American artist Zhivago Duncan, we were hoping for one of his beautifully messy and anarchic pieces of art. And there was not a single splash of disappointment.
Duncan’s design turns the iconic Absolut bottle into a window looking onto one of Berlin’s own iconic Monuments – the Fernsehturm. The bottle features a magnified image of the Fernsehturm’s famous sphere, with aDick Flashquote done graffiti-style: “Es ist nicht einfach immer ein Rebell zu sein” – “It’s not easy to always be a rebel.” A perfect expression of the spirit of a city that has long been at the forefront of contemporary art and culture.
The color palette reflects aspects of Duncan’s own experience of Berlin: gray for the old cement structures, green for the urban forests, turquoise for the oxidation of old statues, cadmium yellow for the golden bricks during a Berlin summer sunset, and pink for the sunrise after a long night out engaging the city and its people.
Duncan never shies away from pushing the boundaries in his artistic expression. Something we can relate to. This collaboration was special to us.
The rainbow flag. A proud champion of love and freedom of expression. A symbol that unites liberated minds, that encourages people to be who they are.
Absolut Colors. A true belief that everyone has the right to express themselves in any way possible. Love whomever you want to love. Be who you are.
For this limited edition it only made sense to collaborate with artist Gilbert Baker, one of the most prominent forces of the modern LGBT movement and designer of the original rainbow flag back in 1978. Dressed in the Pride flag, the Absolut Colors bottle design was both a nod to our long-standing support for the LGBT community as well as a pledge to continue our support for equality.
Inspiring the world to see how all love is equal, Absolut created a short film documenting a surprise proposal from one lover, Amanda, to another, Paige. We took them back to the beach where they had their first date. A series of clues lead to a proposal of a lifetime. A beautiful memory was preserved forever.
Absolut Colors manifested the important message of solidarity, love and respect for diversity.
Absolut believes #loveislove. And that love is all you need.

After the Absolut Blank campaign, where 20 artists had complete creative freedom to redesign the iconic bottle shape, we were able to continue the campaign through Mario Wagner and his space-inspired artwork.
Wagner’s design’s visual language is based on the 1960s – an era characterized by the race to the moon and the legendary moon landing. To ensure visual continuity, he used some elements that were also part of his designs for the Absolut Blank campaign.
Continuing this campaign with such a custom bottle was honestly not part of the original plan – but when a project evolves into something new, why on earth would we hold back on a space-themed limited edition?

The Chicago blues, jazz, soul, and gospel. The origin of house music and the melting pot of hip hop. Chicago has always known how to source a crowd in the name of creativity, passion and energy.
When we turned to Chicago for our upcoming launch within the Cities series, we wanted to step into that house, wrap our bottle around that soul and be part of that crowd.
So we teamed up with the modern crowd sourcers – the Chicago-based online design communityThreadless. Pioneers in community-driven design and best known for their acclaimed T-shirt designs, Threadless’s membership model routinely invites work from members, which is then voted on, with the winning designs produced.
The top contribution made byRoss Bruggink, was a humorous, creative, edgy and well-thought through design, with local details for local appeal. We couldn’t be happier.
Absolut Chicago was truly a flavor for the crowd – by the crowd. And we are proud to have played a tiny part of its ongoing history.
Speaking of flavor; Absolut Chicago was an olive- and rosemary-flavored vodka, smooth and mellow with a well-balanced spiciness – making it perfect for classics like the Dirty Martini.

Absolut was thrilled to work with Jeronimo Lopez Ramirez, the contemporary artist and tattooist also known as Dr Lakra, to pay homage to Mexican culture and the country’s multicultural heritage.

The Absolut bottle served as a medium by which a contemporary artist has reintroduced ancestral symbols, fusioning the past and the now beautifully torepresent Mexico today.

The 18th-century dandy. The Dickensian scallywag. The pinstripe-suited gent about town. The swinging 60s chick. The punk rocker. The rude-boy ska fan. The 80s-casual lad. All iconic London looks spanning the last two centuries, depicted here on our Absolut London limited edition bottle.
Absolut London was the seventh of our limited edition “Cities” series. For the bottle design we collaborated with one of the UK’s most famous and internationally renowned graphic designers – his style is so recognizable we shouldn’t need to tell you his name.
Ok yes, it’s Jamie Hewlett.
Alongside the limited edition bottle we rolled out “The Spirit of London” microsite – an online space that provided back-stories for each character featured on the bottle and also encouraged users explore London’s cultural heritage through the ages.
Absolut London proved a hit when it launched, it sold-out almost immediately. You didn’t get one? It’s OK. Keep calm and carry on looking.
Designed by London creative and visionary Jamie Hewlett, the bottle is a unique take on London’s style and fashion pioneers over the past 200 years. On the bottle Hewlett, who is the co-creator of “Tank Girl” and the fictional music group Gorillaz, introduces key characters from the past who have influenced and shaped London?s present fashion scene. The seven characters encapsulate the city?s diverse heritage, spanning the ages from Dickensian and 18th Century Dandy, through to Pinstripe gent, 60’s chick, Ska, Punk and 80’s Casual.
