The taste of Los Angeles
I'd heard that Absolut was launching a Los Angeles-inspired flavor to add to their line of city-specific flavors that began with Absolut New Orleans (mango and pepper) last year. It made me wonder, what is the flavor of LA?
I finally received the press release. Los Angeles tastes like "an all-natural symphony of blueberry, acai berry, acerola cherry, and fruity notes of pomegranate."
I'm gonna say that's totally appropriate. After all, LA made pomegranate juice popular across the country when celebrities started drinking POM, and acai is another one of those "miracle" antioxidant foods along with blueberries. People in LA love healthy-sounding foods they don't have to think about.
The joke, of course, is that LA-flavored vodka should like like self-tanner and smog. Here are some recommendations for future flavors.
Absolut San Francisco: Bananas and patchouli
Absolut New York: Mahogany and asphalt
Absolut Albuquerque: Salt and lime
Absolut Chicago: Mustard
Absolut Miami: Cologne and hair spray
Absolut San Diego: (unflavored)
Absolut Anchorage: Oil and salmon
Absolut DC: Shellac and horse poop
Labels: LosAngeles, vodka

The best part of Absolut LA is that, of course, the flavoring is fake, and there's obviously no antioxidant benefit to something merely acai-flavored. So appropriate.
LOL
I think they might be neglecting some of the smaller markets.
Absolut Fresno - Dirt and salsa
Absolut Baton Rouge - Crawfish and swamp
Absolut Reno - Hookers and crank
Absolut Cheyenne - Horses and loneliness
Absolut Bozeman - Hookers and crank
