Review: Smirnoff Red White and Blue Seltzer

Smirnoff Red White and Blue Seltzer is a Limited Edition release that joins a Smirnoff Spiked Seltzer lineup that already includes Cranberry Lime, Berry Lemonade, Pina Colada, Raspberry Rose, Strawberry Rose, White Peach Rose, and Pink Apple Rose.  This is not Smirnoff’s first Red White and Blue beverage.  They introduced Smirnoff Red White and Blue Vodka May 2016, and followed that up with Smirnoff Ice Red White and Blue.  Red White and Blue first became a flavor variety in 1955 with the release of the Original Bomb Pop a three colored frozen ice treat made with Cherry, Lime, and Blue Raspberry flavor.  Popsicle Brands came out with their own version they named Firecracker.  Firecracker was made with Cherry, Lemon, and Blue Raspberry flavors.  Unlike most Hard Seltzers which start with a cane sugar alcohol base Smirnoff is brewed as a premium malt beverage.  Natural flavors are added before filling each slim 12 oz, can that changes colors when it is cold.  Smirnoff Red White and Blue Seltzer weighs in at 90 calories with 0 grams of sugar, 1 carb., and 4.5% alcohol.  Currently it is only available in it’s own six or twelve pack.  I’m curious to see which direction Smirnoff takes the citrus flavor.  Will it be team Bomb Pop Lime, or team Popsicle Firecracker Lemon.
