Suggested Absolut Vodka Flavors for San Francisco Neighborhoods
May 30, 2011
Like any city, San Francisco is made up of many unique neighborhoods with people who self-identify to those particular neighborhoods. As we know, Absolut vodka has chosen San Francisco for the next city edition of the vodka: Absolut SF, but do its flavors of grape, dragon berry, and papaya really express the flavors of the city?
I suppose it depends on which part of the city. Thus, I have created a list of:
Suggested Absolut Vodka Flavors for San Francisco's Neighborhoods.
Absolut Mission: Guacamole and Roasted Coffee
Absolut Noe Valley: Baby Powder and New Car Smell
Absolut Sunset: Surf Wax and Sweet & Sour Chicken
Absolut Haight: Hemp and Incense
Absolut Castro: Banana and Latex
Absolut The Fillmore: Exhaust Fumes and Cigarettes
Absolut Pacific Heights: Fresh Baked Bread and Hedge Clippings
Absolut Presidio: Eucalyptus and Asphalt
Absolut Marina: Axe Body Spray and Peroxide
Absolut Richmond: (unflavored)
Absolut SOMA: Urine and Concrete
Absolut North Beach: Tomato Sauce and Brass Polish
Any other suggestions?
and the odds that any of those are preferable to the chosen combo? (they're certainly more authentic!)

Fun! Some suggestions for Absolut Atlanta: http://insathope.blogspot.com/2011/05/absolut-atlanta.html
Although, if they ever do it for real, I expect they'd opt for peaches and roasted pecans with a dash of cinnamon.
