Smirnoff Ice

...for an alcoholic beverage is Smirnoff Ice as it combines a nice long flavoursome drink with a touch of alcohol. In the early days of my drinking “career” I was a vodka and lemonade devotee, then I moved on to bitter and stout, occasional lager (far too gassy!) then on to wines. So drinking Smirnoff Ice has a little touch of nostalgia about it as it is chiefly a vodka and lemonade drink but with a little more distinctive taste. Smirnoff Ice is available ...
...want to buy this. Smirnoff is, of course, probably one of the best known names for vodka and the simple labelling on the clear glass bottle is the usual classic red Smirnoff logo. It’s billed as “a blend of pure Smirnoff Red vodka with the classic taste of lemon” and that’s a fair enough description. The sparse labelling tells us very little else of it’s ingredients so I would guess that the lemon is more bitter lemon than sweeter lemonade, so I ...

Review of Smirnoff Ice

...would think, you would find Smirnoff Ice in the alcopop section, but apparently not! Anyway, on with the show… Smirnoff Ice first came out in this country in winter 1999. It wasn’t one of the first alcopops – Hooch had been around for 2/3 years before this, but Smirnoff was one of the first big brand alcohol labels to bring out a ready mixed drink. Smirnoff is a Russian company, founded by Piotr Arsenyevitch Smirnov in the 1860s. ...
...the world, they bought out Smirnoff Mule (launched in 1994), and then the now infamous Smirnoff Ice. Smirnoff Ice is a vodka based ready mixed drink, and comes in 275ml bottles. The blurb on the front tells us that it is a “Blend of pure Smirnoff Red vodka with the classic taste of lemon.” It comes in clear glass bottles, and carries a sticker on the front, with the Smirnoff logo – a red crest with the words “Smirnoff Ice” ...

Review of Smirnoff Ice

...is Smirnoff. Smirnoff Ice was first produced in 1998 and was introduced in the U.K. in early 2000. During that time it has steadily risen to become one of the leaders in the alcopop business and alongwith Bacardi Breezer represent a huge chunk of the market. Since 1998 over 1.5 billion bottles have been sold in more than 20 countries. Vodka alone is not a very versatile drink. It is usually mixed with a zesty type of drink in order to enjoy it to ...
...the ultimate choice and thus Smirnoff Ice was born. Smirnoff Ice contains a combination of Lemon and Smirnoff Red Label vodka. The great thing about something like lemon is that it imposes itself considerably on the drink and therefore the actual taste of the vodka is somewhat diminished and cleverly disguised. At first glance the bottle looks quite attractive. The same cannot be said for the appearance of the liquid content that is clearly visible ...

Review of Smirnoff Ice

...put in an appearance – Smirnoff Ice. This is basically a mix of Smirnoff Red Label, one of the most popular types of vodka on the market, and a soft drink that reminds me of the lemon variant of Fanta. As with any alcopop, you don’t really get great value for money – the last time I was back in London, I made the mistake of ordering a bottle of this in a bar somewhere in Holborn, and was somewhat taken aback to be charged over 3 ...
...bottle of Smirnoff Ice in the bars of Heidelberg normally costs somewhere around €3.50, and you can now pick up 6-packs at petrol stations and supermarkets for around €8, which isn’t too bad. However, when you consider that you’re only getting 275ml for your money, it is pretty expensive wherever you go. The bottle itself does look quite smart – clear glass, with a silver label and the Smirnoff logo picked out neatly ...

Review of Smirnoff Ice

...to the old styling of Smirnoff labels with their crest stuck on the front. The crest reads ‘Smirnoff Ice’ in 1cm high white writing on a red background. Those with excellent eyesight will notice the imprint of the Founders name, Pierre Smirnoff, on the crest. Other labels include a bottleneck label and a small rectangular strip label near the bottom of the bottle. The bottleneck displays the Smirnoff Ice name again, along with the units of alcohol ...
...A red cap displaying the Smirnoff Ice symbol tops off the bottle. SMELL Upon cracking open the bottle (tonight with my teeth due to a lack of bottle openers in the house :-/ ), I’m greeted with a vibrant attack of lemons. That’s it. Lemons. After all that’s all it is, a lemon drink. The colour is that of real lemon juice so I settle into my chair comfortable in the fact that, well, it’s the right colour. TASTE Lemons! Smirnoff Ice is slightly ...

Review of Smirnoff Ice

...the Russian economy, the Pierre Smirnoff company have been distilling potatoes and destroying livers for many many years. Vodka is the alcoholic base for this petite alcopop (as they say in France) and levels the intoxicating volume at a eye watering 5.5%. Nowadays, Smirnoff is about as Russian as I am since it is owned by Guinness and made in London. Sorry if I have burst any bubbles. It is the ‘Ice’ part of the name that confuses me. What ice? ...
...liquid sugar. The distinctive red Smirnoff label garnishes the front of the bottle as well as their new ‘Smirnoff Ice’ logo. This consists of three asterisks in a parallelogram; looks a bit like those symbols you get on kitchen appliances. The actual drink is a cloudy white. Comparisons get ruder the drunker you get. Other than that, there’s nothing especially dynamic about the drink’s physical form. Other Things.----------------------------------- ...

Review of Smirnoff Ice

...The most noticable being Smirnoff Ice and Bacardi Breezer. Smirnoff Ice was first produced in 1998 and was introduced in the U.K. in early 2000. Since then it has risen to become one of the leading alcopops. Smirnoff Ice is a combination of Lemon and Smirnoff Red Label vodka. However the lemon is more of a subtle tint which hides any alcoholic taste and replaces it with a pleasant taste which leaves ust a faint alcoholic taste at the end of the ...
...average for an alcopop. Smirnoff ice comes in 275 ml clear glass bottles with a label in the traditional silver and red smirnoff colours. It makes you recognise instantly the brand. The drink itself looks like slightly washed out traditional lemonade but don’t let that put you off. I think that most alcopops contain artificial colours to try and influence our purchases but we don’t really need these if the drink tastes right. The boys ...

Review of Smirnoff Ice

...beauty of a drink , Smirnoff Ice comes to us in 275ml bottles and the price seems to vary enormously. I have seen single bottles available from about £1.30 - £1.55 and you can also buy in four packs for anything up to six squid and you can buy packs of 12 and once again the price will vary on that as well. There is nothing worse than a warm drink innit it takes ages to drink and feels liek your drinking a bottle of ready brek. So its definately ...
...first experience of this drink away from clubland and I will buy these if there is any special deals going on down the local spar shop as it comes in handy for parties or a nice casual drink with the old man and his dog. So drink up people get a few of these down your neck and chill out with stevo !! Thanks for reading ...

Review of Smirnoff Ice

SMIRNOFF RED ICE... it reminds me of the last summer, when the vodka mixed drink was new on the German market. How I became attentive? By the advertisement – how else? ;) There was quite a lot advertisement for that new product so that I became curious. But it was not available everywhere. It is often like that with new products: You can see the advertisement everywhere but it is hardly available! However, a friend arrived one day very happy with ...
...tried immediately :) SMIRNOFF RED ICE ~~~~~~~~~~~~ I think I don’t have to describe the appearance of the bottle in detail since you can see it above! The bottle is plain and contains 275ml! There are some red and silver labels on the bottle, so one has a free view on the cloudy white mix beverage. Particularly on advertisement posters Smirnoff Red Ice was always represented chilled with ice in the background and water drops ran down the bottle… ...

Review of Smirnoff Ice

Tonight I tried Smirnoff Ice for the first time. I didn't think I was going to like it, normally preferring wine or Bacardi Breezers. I have had a bad experience with Vodka in the past, but this is surprisingly nice. It comes in 275ml bottles, costing anywhere from £1.10 - £1.50 per bottle. I bought mine in a four pack that normally costs approx £4.99. One Stop are doing two packs for £8 at the moment. The drink itself isn't quite clear, but looks ...
...except it gets you drunk and Lemonade doesn't. (Shame). Ingredients are basically Vodka and lemon, which you would imagine to be disgusting, but surprisingly not. Each bottle contains 1.5 units of alcohol, so you are very limited if you are driving etc. (personally I would go without if I was driving). 5.5% volume of alcohol in each bottle is about average compared to other alchopops. My opinion: Well I have drunk four, and I think I'm still ...

Review of Smirnoff Ice

...one of my favourite drinks, Smirnoff Ice. I think Smirnoff Ice is classed as an alco-pop, not sure about that, however, I am sure it would be, it is also classed as one of those 'girl’s drinks’, but I know plenty of guys who love it also. Taste ----- Ok, This product is definitely best served chilled. I have it sitting in my boy friends chiller, so it will be perfect when I get round to drinking it ;) If it is not chilled, it tastes ...
...The bottle has the traditional Smirnoff label which is the red emblem, and just looks like what a bottle of Smirnoff Vodka would look like....except contents are not clear, its cloudy. Volume ------ Smirnoff Ice is 5.5% Volume, which is quite good for an 'alco-pop' drink. Price (shops/supermarkets/retail) ----- You can purchase Smirnoff Ice in multi packs or typical 33cl bottles, which will cost between £4-£5. Or you can purchase the 33cl bottles ...

Review of Smirnoff Ice

...a drink it is usually smirnoff ice, or I am feeling a bit richer that month then Baileys. When I drink smirnoff ice it never gets me that drunk. I always feel merry after about 5 bottles and my head buzzes a little bit but that is all. However smirnoff ice is like lemonade so when I am in the mood for drinking I can drink them very quickly and because it is cheap I do not need to spend that much to feel tipsy. As I said snirnoff ice is just like ...
...the front and clearly states smirnoff ice. When looking for it in the supermarket you cannot miss it. Well I can't anyway. It can be brought from most off licences and supermarkets and can be brought individually at about £1.29 per bottle or you can buy it in packs of 4 for about £5 or an 8 pack for about £8.50 so it really does not break the bank. It depends though on how your body can hack alcohol as everyones tolerance is different. It is ...

Review of Smirnoff Ice

...way through 8 bottles of Smirnoff Ice and 4 bottles of Archer’s Aqua. So, it’s only fair that I review one of them and now it’s the turn of the Smirnoff Ice. Smirnoff Ice isn’t normally a drink I go for, unless its very cheap and I’m very skint. As it happens, these perfect conditions arose and I purchased 8 bottles for £5 from the Co-op at the end of my shift. Having bought 6 bottles of Carlsberg Special Brew the day before, I think the new lad ...
...well… The original Smirnoff Ice, not the black ice version, what do we know about it? Well, it’s a vodka mixed drink, surprise surprise, with a very faint taste of lemon to it. It could almost be classic lemonade, as it’s got that cloudy, lemonadey look to it. Well don’t be fooled into thinking it is lemonade because it might give you another surprise, it being 5.5%. So, is it nice and worth your pennies? Well, sort of. I had some when I went up ...

Review of Smirnoff Ice

...am allowed 1 or 2 smirnoff ices when it comes to a good event or just a boring Saturday. It isnt that bad! Most people my age go out on Friday nights and get absoloutely recked but i am just not like that at all. Me and Christine would rather just sit in my room and talk the minutes away. I have always loved Smirnoff Ice, especially when i got to drink it from the bottle withought my mum putting a we drop in a glass. My dad lets me drink it from ...
...exactly like to bottle with SMIRNOFF ICE printed in white over a red symbol. BUt at the bottom, it reads: 'A blend of pure Smirnoff. Red vodka with the classic taste of lemon. SERVE EXTRA CHILLED' This tasteful drink has just 5% VOL in it but still could get someone tipsy after a few. The reason us teens love it today is because it tastes like juice. You would have no idea if youw ere 7 years old and got served Smirnoff Ice for your dinner. The ...

Smirnoff Ice. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Think about it it's a nice hot sunny day and your thirsty so what are you going to do, aha you just remember you bought not one but two 70cl bottles of Smirnoff Ice you just drool at the thought of it. -------------------------------------------------- You got the two bottles from Tesco's as they were having a sale on and they only cost £2.99 each, great bargain as one big bottle is the equivalent of three small ...
...is 4.0 vol and the Smirnoff Ice is 5.5 vol so the cheaper one isn't so strong as the dearer one. The taste, is similar not much of a difference really. This drink is nice just to sit on the patio on a summer's evening just relaxing having a quiet time time. Funny enough this does not give me much of a hangover just very thirsty so another drink please hee. If you need anymore information go to there website at htt/www.smirnoff-ice.com/. Thanks ...
