Designed to celebrate all the best that contemporary Texas has to offer, our San Antonio-based collaborator Cruz Ortiz put a modern spin on this iconic state.

With the “cosmic caballero” cowboy boot stepping into a stylized Texas landscape and his own take on the Texas Star at its zenith, Cruz brought a colorful balance between past and future that we still like looking at.

The taste of Absolut Texas, rich and smooth with notes of fresh cucumber and a warm spicy character, was also designed to go in line with the classic flavor of Southwestern cuisine.

Thanks for all the inspiration, Texas. Let’s drink to that!
