Saw this new design by Absolut Vodka @ Harbourfront Duty-Free shop, retailing @ $29. It is actually designed by Liselotte Watkins and is a product exclusively for travelers. Looks so tempting but husband thinks I am mad to even suggest it. To him, it serves no purpose in getting the bottle as he does not drink and we are on our way to Batam. To me, it is such a special bottle. Even though the male & female characters are not exactly pretty but the 'jet setting' lifestyle portrayed just appealed to me. Perhaps, it is just that I love to travel and this bottle sort of represents a lifestyle that I would not be able to achieve in the near future.

The bottle is actually transparent and looks much prettier in real life. Took a copy of the brochure instead since I could not get the bottle. As mentioned in the brochure: "Absolut Watkins has a distinct coffee character with almonds, caramel and warm spicy notes of chili." Kind of hard for me to imagine the taste and it does sound weird to me. Something coffeey, yet sweet and spicy?
There are some interesting ways to enjoy the liqueur such as:
Watkins White Chocolate Martini
Ingredients - 5 parts Absolut Watkins & 1 part white chocolate syrup
Method - Stir with ice and strain into a martini glass
Garnish - A white chocolate stick
Espresso Martini Milan
Ingredients - 3.5 parts Absolut Watkins & 1.5 parts Kahlua Double Espresso
Method - Shake all the ingredients and strain into a martini glass
Garnish - 3 coffee beans
Absolut Watkins and Cola
Ingredients - 4 parts Absolut Watkins
Method - Top up with Cola
Garnish - A lime wedge
