maremare discovered 12 months ago- From the page: "Absolut New Orleans offers a unique flavor combination - " sweet, juicy mango with a contrasting kick of black pepper. It sounds unusual, but unique has always described New Orleans, and the combination of sweet, smooth and spicy also fits the bill. The bottle itself pays tribute to New Orlean's musical heritage with a picture of a brass harmonica bearing the name "L.O. Smith Trio," a tongue-in-cheek salute to Absolut's founder, Lars Olsson Smith. But with New Orleans, Absolut is not just releasing a new vodka flavor or running a nifty ad campaign. 100% of profits from Absolut New Orleans will be donated to charities along the Gulf Coast, in Louisiana, Alabama, and Mississippi, with a minimum $2 million contribution. Organizations that will benefit include Habitat for Humanity, Hands on Gulf Coast, Tipitina's Foundation, and Volunteer Mobile. A variety of projects will receive funding, including five new Habitat homes in New Orleans, as well as a concert series highlighting local talent in New Orleans. An interesting flavor combination as well as benefiting rebuilding efforts in the Gulf? It sounds like two great reasons to try a bottle, and Absolut expects it to sell out by November. If taste and charity alone aren't enough to persuade you, there are even a couple of recipes to try! Absolut Big Breezy * 2 parts Absolut New Orleans vodka * ½ part simple syrup * 4-5 chunks of watermelon * Dash finely grated black pepper * Squeeze of lemon Muddle watermelon, lemon juice, pepper and simple syrup. Add Absolut New Orleans. Shake and strain into cocktail glass. Absolut Rebuilder * 2 parts Absolut New Orleans vodka * 1 part pineapple juice * 1 part orange juice Combine all ingredients. Shake and pour into cocktail glass."

- It's sad that two years after Katrina, we haven't done more to rebuild on the Gulf Coast. Thank you, Absolut!
