Vanilia summer mania
April 23, 2004 | 12:00am
With all the summer parties you are about to attend, what will be your absolute summer cocktail choice? Absolut Vanilia, the newest flavor of vodka, was introduced in time for the hot and steamy nights ahead of us. This white bottle is an experience itself. The clean taste of the purest vanilla blended with the finest distilled vodka from grains grown in southern Sweden is best served chilled. The Absolut Vanilia launch was an exciting gathering of friends who shared with me insights about their absolute choice of drink this summer.

Evi Gueverra
How can you tell if someone’s had too much to drink?
It’s the moment when he finds anyone in a skirt, regardless of gender, attractive, and flirts with the whole world.
Mai Castro
What is a typical Absolut Vodka night for you?
It is a night of revelry without having to worry about waking up with a hangover the next day!
Martin Valdes
On which occasion would you buy your best friend an Absolut cocktail?
It would be on the eve of his wedding day. He’ll for sure need it to get through tomorrow!
Javi Rodriguez
Which bar serves the most affordable cocktail?
I suggest Nuvo because it is priced reasonably and I like how they prepare the Long Island Iced Tea.
Paulo Del Rosario
What’s the most number of vodka drink you had in one night?
As of this time I remember only having 12 glasses and passing out last night!

Ed Aniel
What Absolut cocktail will you be drinking while watching the May election return?
I have tasted all the Absolut flavors and loved them! For the May election, I’ll be drinking Absolut Vanilia because its inviting scent will make me relax from all the tension and commotion that day.
Tippi Ocampo
What is your favorite Absolut cocktail?
I like the classic Absolut tonic and the citrus flavor of Absolut Mandrin is interesting as well. The combination of Absolute Vanilia and Bailey’s is my new-found favorite, since the creamy taste is a welcoming flavor.
Kathy Webb
How do you want your Absolut cocktail to be served, and by who?
I want my Absolut straight up so I can taste its rich, full flavored goodness, and it has to be served by Speedy Gonzalez so I get it right away!
Annie Ringor
How do you explain responsible drinking to your daughters?
None of my daughters drink alcohol and as a matter of fact I encourage them to taste and to acquire the taste of it. Upon their knowledge of their limitation, it is then up to them to be responsible about their well being. Of course as general knowledge I always remind them that excessive drinking is unhealthy.
Mary Afable
How was your first experience with Absolut Vodka?
It was a fun and memorable experience because I lost my wallet. It sounds stupid but it was worth losing the cash, as it was all good and enjoyable.
