Many of the words are in Swedish.
Absolut, peppar, kurant, citron, are all ordinary swedish words, although not always applied to what you'd expect. kurant doesn't mean currant, vinbär does, but I guess nobody in the US could spell or say vinbär properly - kurant means healthy, so it's actually a bit of a multilingual pun.

No it is to create a trademark and protect their specific infusions. Companies often change spelling to distinguish themselves in the market place. It is a marketing strategy.

Because it's more of a pronunciation thing. The e in absolute is silent so why no leave it off making absolut.

It is just a marketing gimmick so many companies use today and been doing so for a very long time too.

prolly to be different. Absolut is the wrong way to spell absolute...going with the company trend i guess.

It is a marketing thing. They are making themselves distinctive.

My guess is it probably has something to do with Vodka being Russian
