Advantages: Tastes nice
Disadvantages: You need to mix it and that spoils the orange flavour
WHAT IS IT?
A mandarin favoured vodka from Absolut.
THE FLAVOUR?
This has got a very strange taste because it tastes like vodka that has been mixed with orange juice but the vodka is neat so the mandarin flavour is weak it the vodka is as strong as always. It's a smooth vodka but still needs to be mixed and the only mixer that works is orange juice with this one and that hides the mandarin flavour anyway.
WHAT I THINK
This is nice vodka but I do not think that mandarin is a very good flavour to add to the vodka because it too similar to the most common mixer juice. When I had a glass neat the mandarin softened the taste of the vodka a bit but not enough for me to be able to drink it as smoothly as I could if it had a mixer. I mixed it with tonic water but that diluted the taste of the mandarin and made it taste like I had used squash to mix with it.
The vodka is a smooth one and it is easy to drink, its not very sweet but the mandarin is nice and juicy. It is also quite strong so you can taste it strongly through the vodka so it is a pity that it isn't so nice after mixing the drink with juice or tonic water.
It has got 40% alcohol in it and so is as strong as any other vodka. Some of the flavoured vodkas taste weaker but this one doesn't because the mandarin flavour isn't so soothing as other flavours in the Absolut range of flavoured vodka. This vodka costs about £15 for a bottle and that is the same as other Absolut vodka.
