While some people prefer to drink their hard spirits neat or to drink alcoholic beverages, such as wine or beer, others prefer to drink cocktails, which combine spirits with other ingredients. Smirnoff Ice is a combination of Smirnoff products combined with other ingredients to create a sweetened alcoholic drink.

Sugar

While the amount of sugar you drink in a Smirnoff Ice drink is fairly small, it goes a long way toward sweetening up the drink. The Ice drinks are meant to be a hard version of the wine cooler and to appeal to a younger crowd, as well as to women who do not want the severe alcohol taste of hard liquor.

Lemon-lime soda

Soda is commonly combined with different spirits to create different cocktail mixes. Smirnoff Ice combines its famous vodka with lemon-lime soda. The lemon-lime soda gives a slightly sour taste to the concoction, contrasting with the sweetness of the sugar. The soda also lends the drink its carbonation, which creates a different feel than drinking vodka on its own.

Fruit juice

Smirnoff Ice makes good use of fruit juice to create its various different flavours. The fruit juice is what gives each drink its distinct taste and works to hide the taste of the vodka. While you can still taste the alcohol, it is the fruit juice that is the most overpowering. This makes Smirnoff Ice a good option for those who do not like the taste of alcohol. Some of the Smirnoff Ice flavours offered include mango, passion fruit, raspberry, green apple, grape and strawberry.
