Turn Up the Heat with Absolut Tabasco
Spice in cocktails isn’t new. What is new is doing it without faff. No muddling chillies, no guessing heat levels, no one ruining a round because they got overexcited with a Scotch bonnet. Just Absolut meets Tabasco. Controlled chaos.
Spice not your thing? Scroll down for the ultimate Irish Coffee, Champagne Margaritas, and a supreme White Negroni...

Absolut Tabasco
Two titans unite! Absolut has partnered with Tabasco hot sauce to create a vibrant chilli pepper-flavoured vodka. This fiery fusion is ready to elevate the beloved Bloody Mary to striking new heights, or how about a One Shot Mary – a single measure, chased by a salt-dusted cherry tomato?!
The distinct notes of aged Tabasco, chilli peppers and vinegar with an underlying sweetness. This delivers a bold and pleasant heat experience that engages all the senses, immediately inviting another sip.
Cocktail Bundles & inspired recipes
If you're going to make a cocktail, why make the same thing everyone else is making?
This is a line-up of cocktails built on contrast. Heat against citrus, savoury against fresh, bitterness brushing up against sweetness. You know the classics. These drinks take them elsewhere. The trick is nudging them just far enough off centre that they feel new again without losing the point.
We've put together bundles and highlighted some bargain beauties too. PJ Grand Brut with Código Rosa is now £77.90. Italicus, Lillet Blanc and Plymouth Gin slide to £61.95. How about the evergreen Redbreast 15 Year OId, always a great value choice. Or the new Tabasco edition of Absolut Vodka...
This is what happens when someone looks at classic cocktails and decides to take them to the next level.
Champagne meets the Margarita
Because a Margarita secretly loves a bit of sparkle.

Perrier-Jouët Grand Brut 70cl
Código 1530 Rosa 70cl
A lighter, brighter riff on a classic.
Expect a fresh, modern Negroni that trades brooding intensity for clean aromatics and a glow you can practically sip.

The ultimate Irish Coffee
Redbreast 15 gives the famous Irish Coffee the richness it deserves, bringing sherried weight and warmth. No bundle here, just the whiskey itself, but it’s more than capable of stealing the scene.
