America
Absolut America is a run of bottles Absolut released in the United States from 2018, each one a new reading of the American flag. The first came out for summer 2018 with a donation programme for the non-profit Keep America Beautiful, and the idea has held since: take the stars and stripes and redraw them for the moment, in a modern red, white and blue or in the clasped blue hands Geoff McFetridge drew in 2020, deliberately without gender, heritage or age. Absolut then carried the artworks onto editions for individual states, so a flag drawn for the whole country also appears under a state's name.
