Product description
Meet the premium flavored malt beverage that started it all. With its crisp taste and bubbly finish, Smirnoff Ice Original features natural lemon lime flavor. Lightly carbonated, Smirnoff Ice has a delicious citrus bite, along with a refreshing effervescence. Enjoy chilled and drink responsibly. Smirnoff Ice Original has a 4.5% ABV. While Smirnoff Ice is made by the Smirnoff brand you know and love, the beverage isn’t made with vodka. Smirnoff Ice is made like traditional beers with malt. One of the most popular malt beverages in the nation, Smirnoff Ice has been a staple of get-togethers and parties since 1999. If you want to give your beverage a twist, try turning it into a shandy by mixing equal parts Smirnoff Ice with a Blonde lager. Add a squeeze of lemon, and if you're really feeling fancy, top it off with some lemon zest. You've got yourself the ideal drink for chilling by the pool or sipping on game day.

FAQs
The Smirnoff brand is largely recognized for its dominance in the vodka market, but the Smirnoff Ice product line challenges that reputation. Much like scrunchies, overalls, and boy bands, Smirnoff Ice was first released in the 90s and remains popular today; but many wonder whether Smirnoff Ice is more like a vodka cocktail or a beer. U.S. law defines any malt beverage with more than .5% ABV as a beer, so technically, Smirnoff Ice falls into that broad category — however, just because this lemon-lime treat is brewed like a beer, doesn’t mean it tastes like or has the same quality as a beer.
Smirnoff Ice is a flavored malt beverage (or FMB to those in the know); there is no actual hard liquor in the Smirnoff Ice products available in the United States. The original lemon-lime Smirnoff Ice (and all the other flavors, too) contain a combination of malt liquor, sweeteners, and fruit flavoring — malt liquor is grain-based alcohol (like beer) that provides a neutral foundation on which to build all kinds of fun, party-ready flavors. It’s a bit misleading, to be sure (since the name Smirnoff is synonymous with vodka). However, Smirnoff Ice Original still manages to deliver the bubbles and easy drinkability of your classic vodka soda (sans the vodka).
While Smirnoff vodkas score a solid 40% ABV (80 proof), Smirnoff Ice Original is actually a flavored malt beverage (or FMB), so its ABV is more akin to a beer than hard liquor. A bottle of Smirnoff Ice has an alcohol content of 4.5%, placing it alongside pale ales and other lower ABV brews. Compared to actual vodka cocktails, Smirnoff Ice is exceptionally easy to drink and packs a punch of fruit flavor; in fact, you can use Smirnoff Ice to level up all kinds of fun cocktails, including sangrias, margaritas, and other fizzy summer favorites.
Smirnoff Ice makes a good gift for a variety of reasons; it’s affordable, adaptable, gluten-free, easy to drink, and comes in a range of fun flavors sure to impress any party host. Smirnoff Ice can be a respectable hostess gift at any get-together, no matter the size. Gifting Smirnoff Ice is a little tongue-in-cheek for those who experienced 2010's “icing” phenomenon, a trend which saw pranksters surprising anyone from college students to Wall Street execs with a bottle of Smirnoff Ice; the unsuspecting recipient was expected to bend down on one knee and quickly drink the bottle. Putting the out-of-date hazing game aside — Smirnoff Ice can be a respectable hostess gift at any get-together.
