An opaque, citrus flavored ready to drink beverage made with Smirnoff No 21 vodka. The difference between Smirnoff Ice and a beer is Smirnoff Ice and super-premium and imported beers are brewed and have the same alcohol content («V). However, Smirnoff Ice is brewed using a malt base and contains a special recipe that gives it a clean, crisp, refreshing taste that doesn’t weigh you down. Smirnoff Ice was created as a beer alternative; brewing it using a malt base enabled Smirnoff to create a recipe that could be sold and consumed just like a beer.
