Absolut Peppar Flavored Vodka

Absolut Peppar is the original pepper-infused vodka — the Absolut winter wheat base flavored with jalapeño and other peppers, created in 1986 as the first major savory flavored vodka and still the benchmark for a spicy Bloody Mary.

Built on the same continuously distilled Åhus winter wheat as Absolut Original, Peppar takes its character from a blend of peppers — green jalapeño leading, with a savory, vegetal warmth rather than raw heat. It was the flavored expression that proved savory vodka could work, and it remains the category’s reference point.

Its natural home is the Bloody Mary, where it builds heat into the drink from the spirit up, but it also lifts savory cocktails, micheladas, and anything that benefits from a peppery edge.
