Upping the ABSOLUT Ante ABSOLUT VODKA UNLEASHES ABSOLUT ELYX—AND THE VODKA WORLD REJOICES by Rachel Burkons W hen you're one of the most iconic spirit brands in the world, planning and executing a line extension is a tricky balancing act.

But if any brand is equipped to take on such a challenge, it is surely ABSOLUT, whose newest release, ABSOLUT ELYX, has us rethinking the luxury vodka category's capabilities.
