			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>No, it&#8217;s not lobster, or beans, or dirty river water, or Fenway grass or really just Samuel Adams poured into a liter bottle. Absolut has created a vodka with hints of black tea and elderflower (Boston Tea Party, get it?) as part of its &#8220;Absolut Cities&#8221; promotional campaign.</p>
<p>(I wonder if this might be <a href="http://blastmagazine.com/the-magazine/culturefashion/2009/09/commentary-the-puritans-never-left-massachusetts/">illegal soon</a>.)</p>
<p>Anyway, we haven&#8217;t tried the vodka yet, but we&#8217;re getting some to taste and will let you know.</p>
<p>Absolut launched its cities campaign in the 80s and has previously launched New Orleans and Los Angeles vodkas, with Boston being the third city to have a vodka named after it. So suck it, New York.</p>

<p>Absolut is donating $50,000 from sales of the Boston vodka to the local Charles River Conservancy and has erected a wall in Copley where famous Bostonians like Carleton Fisk and Amy Poehler wrote down their favorite Boston moments. The plaques will be auctioned off, and all proceeds will benefit the Conservancy also. </p>
