Absolut Mandrin Vodka

Pros: Makes better mixed drinks than ordinary vodka
Cons: Not very good as a shot 

Vodka is one of the four base, clear liquors and its neutral taste and character make it a popular ingredient for hundreds of drinks. Over the past decade or so, however, vodka has pumped up its flavor through the addition of other ingredients. A popular ...

Pros: Delicious!
Cons: Way too Delicious!

My husband and I decided after working in the yard today to take a trip to the liquor store and see what we could come up with to quench our thirst. I suggested that we try something a little different, and while browsing the shelves we came across a ...

Pros: Love the orangy taste
Cons: Strong, needs to be mixed

Although I don't get much of a chance to try a higher grade of liquor than the plastic bottles (darn my broke college student status), I managed to get a try of this for the first time about a year ago. I was hooked from then on. First, the smell...

Pros: smells like oranges a little, only mildly toxic
Cons: tastes like orange peel a lot, no good for removing bumper stickers

"There are no opinions that do not recommend this item." That, at least, I can fix. And must. To do less would be dishonest: this stuff is lousy.

Not long after I tried Absolut Citron, in an unconnected thread of life, I was...

Pros: Absolut quality vodka with light refreshing accent
Cons: Only if you don't like orange flavors

There was a point at which my liquor reviews were all leaning toward orange-infused spirits. I was accused by NFP of having an orange fetish (grin). Though I staunchly deny any such prejudice, I feel compelled to inform the world about the...

Pros: Surprisingly tasty
Cons: Can't think of any

Today I'm reviewing Absolut Mandrin Vodka. This is one of several flavored varieties of Absolut Vodka. Absolute Vodka is made in Ahus Sweden. It is, according to the website, triple distilled from Winter wheat and then filtered through charcoal to remove ...

Pros: lovely, heady orange perfume. great as a mixer.
Cons: orange can't mix with everything, and I'm not made to sip vodka

I don't usually like vodka. Everyone claims that it's relatively tasteless and odorless, but that doesn't fool me; vodka usually tastes like dirt to me. Absolut Mandrin, however, manages to fool me. It's vodka, and I like it. Not only that, but...

Pros: Image, unique flavoring, SO refreshing!
Cons: Falls completely into the Absolut cliché, but...I dont care.

Ahhh, the always tweaky world of vodkas. This simple, yet fascinating spirit has given me a few valu ...

Pros: great orange smell and taste
Cons: expensive

Have you ever smelled the inside of a empty vodka bottle because you loved the aroma? Probably not unless you've tried Absolut's Mandarin Vodka.

Absolut's Mandarin is more expensive than most vodka's but I can't stress enough that is very...

Pros: Different flavor, great in all vodka recipes
Cons: Pricey

Until recently I have been what one could call “dormant” on Epinions. I have been busy with my real job and I have been unable to really get back into the swing of things. Well today I decided that I needed to start contributing again to the...

Pros: Comes in a great bottle and the hangover is very mild
Cons: Not really that tasty

I had just finished a long week of work and was thoroughly looking forward to heading east to visit some friends and partake in the consumption of alcohol. Before arriving at the party I stopped at the grocery store with my traveling buddy and we...

Pros: Wonderfully fragrant vodka.
Cons: terribly addicting!

I began drinking vodka after college, when just the mere thought of beer made me ill! Originally, my first vodka of choice was stoli. It was the only vodka my parents kept in the house, therefore, the only one I knew. When I began to expreriment,...

Pros: Taste, smoothness, price
Cons: Price

My best friend introduced me to this vodka several years ago. I am not a liquor expert but will not disappoint you. It is smooth and the hint of mandarin is just enough to make it great. This isn't a harsh or overpowering vodka and will taste great ...

Pros: Fresh & flavorful
Cons: alcoholic beverage

Who else but those marketing guru's at Absolut would have come up with a citrus flavored vodka. Well, they did good.

My drink of choice (which is a rarity) is Vodka seven with a splash of grenadine. Recently I was asked by a bartender while...

Pros: Great for us Orange fans
Cons: 4 will leave you fuzzy

Well this isn't really a review. There has been some talk in this area of an Orange Martini and I thought I'd share one I created a few months ago.

I'll give it to you first then a little history behind it.
