Baz Luhrmann teams up with Absolut Vodka to create special edition celebrating Australia

The Great Gatsby director Baz Luhrmann has teamed up with vodka brand Absolut to create a limited edition bottle celebrating Australia, Absolute Oz.

Luhrmann travelled to Swedish town of Åhus, home to the Absolut distillery where he trialled and experimented with various ingredients that would go into the Australian special edition.

Absolut Oz boasts a spiced orange flavour profile which Luhrmann created to transport drinkers to “another place”, namely Australian beaches.

In a statement Luhrmann said: “Absolut Oz is a distillation of the unifying truth that we are all equal under the sun. While creating the drinks which feature and celebrate Absolut Oz, we reflected on that moment when the sun dips below the horizon and, as we say in the movies, the magic hour is upon us.”
