  • What does Elyx taste like, and why is it best suited for drinking on the rock or in a Martini?
    Kirsten

    Elyx is recognized by its character, elegance and silky smooth mouthfeel. Its nose is plentiful with subtle, vanilla and lightly spiced fruity tones. The palate is rich, creamy and well balanced, with a stand out silky texture, a long lasting smooth finish, and a subtle spiciness. Elyx is best enjoyed neat or on the rock. It is also perfect in martinis and classic cocktails where its pure taste and silky mouthfeel shines through.

  • What does the name ‘Elyx’ mean?
    William

    We gave Elyx its name for 2 reasons:

    1. ’lyx’ means luxury in Swedish.
    2. Elyx is derived from the word Elixir, meaning ‘magic formula’. It refers to the century-old formulas, methods, and vodka-making expertise that we have explored and refined with Absolut Elyx.
