Absolut adds to its vodka flavours with Berri Açaí

Absolut launches its Berri Açaí today (April 4) in New Zealand.
   The new vodka blends açaí, blueberry and pomegranate creating what Absolut New Zealand’s mixologist, Chris Harrop, calls a ‘slightly juicy taste, and a smooth, crisp and berry finish.’
   Absolut introduced Absolut Citron in 1988. On the New Zealand market, Absolut now has a line of seven different flavours in addition to the original vodka.
   Absolut Berri Açaí features a transparent 700ml bottle with a deep-purple berry vine climbing around it. Retail price is NZ$37·99.
