Perhaps the most regarded of Vodkas in the world, ABSOLUT Vodka is produced in a tiny village in Southern Sweden named, Ahus. With a history that dates back over 400 years, I'm sure you've had at least  a drink or two in your lifetime in which this vodka was a key ingredient.
If not here's your chance to indulge. I was introduced to this week's cocktail at the 2011 Barbados Food, Wine and Rum festival which is a 4 day annual event held in the month of November. Cheers to you and the weekend!
