The Absolut Relief cocktail appears to be a lesser-known or possibly branded drink featuring Absolut vodka (specifically Absolut Mandrin, the mandarin orange-flavoured variant).
From available recipes, one version credited to Absolut Vodka is a fruity, citrus-forward highball-style cocktail designed to be refreshing and balanced with sweet and tart notes.
Ingredients
(approximate parts/ratios; scale as needed for 1 serving)
- 2 parts Absolut Mandrin (mandarin orange vodka)
- 1 part fresh blood orange juice (or regular orange juice as a substitute)
- 1 part cranberry juice
- 1 part raspberry liqueur (such as Chambord or similar)
Instructions
- Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.
- Add all ingredients.
- Shake well until chilled.
- Strain into a highball glass filled with fresh ice (or serve up in a chilled coupe if preferred).
- Garnish optionally with an orange slice, twist, or fresh raspberries for extra flair.
This creates a vibrant, reddish-orange drink with prominent mandarin/citrus flavors from the vodka, balanced by the tartness of cranberry and blood orange, plus a sweet berry note from the raspberry liqueur. It’s on the sweeter side but refreshing, making it a nice “relief” from a heavy day—similar in spirit to other fruit-vodka mixes.
