| ABSOLUT HIBISKUS |
ABSOLUT HIBISKUS is incredibly easy to mix – perfect for creating complex cocktails and still sensational by adding just one ingredient. The slightly acidic, berry-flavour hibiscus is underlined by the sweet notes of pomegranate – made from all natural ingredients.

| Malaysian artists |
In support of Malaysian talents for creativity and innovation, Pernod Ricard Malaysia collaborated with artists from 3editions – a contemporary online art & design gallery to design 4 unique artwork pieces as part of their interpretation of ABSOLUT HIBISKUS. These designs were created with the underlying theme of empowerment, and when the pieces are combined, will form the iconic giant ABSOLUT bottle which will be displayed at the ABSOLUT HIBISKUS party venues.
The artists were: Michelle Lim who makes her various artworks come to life on paper, sometimes with a digital edge; Tan Howe Qin who focuses on experimenting with white, grey & black & playing with electronics; Hyacinthe Kaur whose major influences in her designs have been cultural in nature specifically Native American Indian and Hindu; and Abs Lee a self-taught monster illustrator who explores creating wacky illustrations.
ABSOLUT HIBISKUS can be purchased at selected MOT outlets and the ABSOLUT Brand Store in KLIA. For ABSOLUT cocktail recipes, visit https://www.absolutdrinks.com/en/.
Pernod Ricard Malaysia collaborated with 23Aubergine to create localised cocktails using ABSOLUT HIBISKUS – the results of which are Malaysianised ABSOLUT HIBISKUS cocktails – perfect for parties, gatherings and inspirational moments. Try it! =D
