Absolut Haring, a limited edition that unites art and vodka
Absolut Haring is a limited edition vodka that celebrates the fusion of contemporary art and urban culture. The bottle pays tribute to the legacy of Keith Haring, the artist who in the 1980s transformed New York’s art scene with his bold, colourful and accessible style. His motto, “art is for everybody”, lives on in this collaboration, reminding us that creativity knows no boundaries and can be expressed anywhere.
At Licorea we know that every Absolut limited edition has a unique story, and in this case it’s a proposal that bridges past and present. This bottle not only contains vodka of worldwide renown, but also a collector’s item that embodies the democratic spirit of street art. For lovers of artistic editions or collectors alike, Absolut Haring marks a true turning point.
Keith Haring’s legacy in a bottle
Keith Haring was one of the great figures of 1980s pop and urban art. His iconic figures, drawn with quick lines and vivid colours, conquered both New York’s subway walls and international galleries. His mission was to bring art closer to everyone, free from barriers or elitism. In those years, Absolut had already collaborated with artists such as Andy Warhol, who in 1986 invited Haring to reinterpret the brand’s bottle. Today, nearly forty years later, that historic collaboration returns with a striking redesign.
The Absolut Haring bottle features embossed glass reproducing figures from one of Haring’s original paintings, along with his handwriting, signature and a reimagined version of the classic Absolut medallion. The result is a three-dimensional artwork, where the bottle itself becomes an essential part of the experience. For many collectors, it’s a must-have piece in the Swedish brand’s limited-edition series.
Vodka with Absolut quality
Beyond its design, Absolut Haring holds the same premium Swedish vodka that has earned global acclaim for the Åhus distillery. Crafted exclusively from natural ingredients and free from added sugars, it offers a pure, clean and balanced profile. Its neutral character makes it a versatile base, perfect for mixed drinks and signature cocktails.
Absolut’s commitment to sustainability is also present in this edition. The Swedish distillery operates under a circular economy model, minimising waste and making the most of every raw material. This ensures that the enjoyment of the bottle is tied to a process that respects the environment.
Artistic inspiration in mixology
Absolut Haring is not only about its design, but also about sparking new sensations in mixology. The brand proposes cocktails inspired by the artist’s life and tastes. A highlight is the Absolut Haring Fizz, a recipe combining sesame-infused vodka, citrus sorbet and an apple-ginger foam. This creation reflects Haring’s passion for Asian cuisine and adds a creative twist to contemporary mixology.
Beyond this cocktail, Absolut Haring can be enjoyed in classics such as the Vodka Tonic, Moscow Mule or Bloody Mary, always with the crystal-clear character of Swedish vodka. For collectors, the bottle can remain a display piece, while for cocktail lovers it becomes a blank canvas to experiment with.
A movement that transcends time
The idea behind Absolut Haring is clear: art is a movement, a democracy, a shared language. This limited edition reminds us that Haring’s messages are still relevant today, and that creativity has the power to bring people together. At Licorea we believe this bottle is much more than packaging; it’s an invitation to join a cultural movement that transcends time and trends.
This Absolut Haring limited edition is the only one of its kind in our catalogue, and we believe it will surprise those looking for a vodka with a strong cultural and artistic presence. Each of Haring’s strokes etched into the glass connects with a moment in contemporary art history, and holding it in your hands is a way of becoming part of that story.
Perfect moments for Absolut Haring
This bottle can take centre stage in many different settings: a special celebration, a unique gift for an art lover, a gathering where design and culture are part of the conversation, or simply as an object that decorates and adds style to any space. Its versatility means it goes beyond consumption and becomes something to be admired.
With Absolut Haring, the Swedish brand reaffirms its commitment to creativity and artistic collaboration. It is a piece that not only celebrates 40 years of shared history between Absolut and Keith Haring, but also opens the door for new generations to discover in this limited edition the magic of uniting art and vodka in one expression.
