what would your city taste like?

LA is my lady, but vodka may be my best girl. So imagine my delight when I heard that Absolut has launched a vodka for my city. What does Los Angeles taste like? No, not smog and silicone, smartypants. It's a lovely-sounding blend of trendy fruits: pomegranate, blueberry, acai and acerola. Even sweeter, Absolut is donating $250,000 from sales of the voddy to an environmental charity. Très LA.
This is the second US city Absolut has honored with its own flavor. First was New Orleans, a mango and black pepper vodka. Spicy! They're also taking nominations for more cities, which leads me to ask: What would your city taste like?
So, Dallas, Austin, are you thinking jalapeño vodka, or something with grapefruit (your state fruit; yes, I looked it up)? New Yorkers, do you want yours to taste like apples? Miami, will you bring us a key lime vodka with a twist of orange? And Philly, please don't make a cheesesteak-flavored vodka, because I will be tempted to taste it.

I would have the Kansas City's vodka be a perfect blend of sweet and spicy, just like KC barbecue. I'm thinking, a base of sweet, smoky molasses spiked with heat from cayenne pepper.

San Diego would taste like a turkey sandwich because it reminds me of summer, clean air and a nice cool breeze. That and wheat thins and cheddar cheese reminds me of he days swimming in the back yard and then my mom bringing out cheese n crackers and cranberry juice.

New Yorker here: Apples and roasted chestnuts!

Baltimore would taste like Old Bay because that's the way we eat our crabs!

Colorado speaking - I would think something chocolaty and minty - like the drinks you crave after a day of skiing.
