Review: Smirnoff Cucumber & Lime Zero Sugar Infusions
Smirnoff Cucumber & Lime Zero Sugar Infusions joins Strawberry & Rose, and Watermelon & Mint in Smirnoff’s just launched Zero Sugar Infusions line of vodka. Cucumber and Lime have been a popular flavored vodka combination, as Svedka, Three Olives, Burnett, and Rain have previously released their own Cucumber and Lime flavored vodkas. At 72 calories per 1.5 Oz. serving I view Smirnoff Zero Sugar Infusions and Diageo stablemate Ketel One Botanicals as the next generation of reduced calorie vodka. Previous reduced calorie flavored vodka brands include Bethenny Frankel’s Skinnygirl and Pitbull’s Voli Vodka. Both were good concepts, backed ,by popular celebrities, but both lacked an important ingredient, good taste. Neither brand currently produces a flavored vodka. Smirnoff Cucumber & Lime is made from a corn distilled vodka base. Natural flavors and essence of real botanicals are infused with the vodka base before bottling at 60 proof. Read more 
Review: Smirnoff Moscow Mule Vodka
Smirnoff Moscow Mule Vodka is a ginger and lime infused vodka. Smirnoff is commemorating the anniversary of the Moscow Mule with this limited edition vodka. Smirnoff invented the Moscow Mule in 1941. For those unfamiliar with a Moscow Mule the drink is made with Smirnoff Vodka, Ginger Beer, and a squeeze of fresh Lime Juice. The cocktail is traditionally served in an ice filled copper mug. Smirnoff Moscow Mule vodka is made with vodka, natural flavors, and certified color. It weighs in at 60 proof. Smirnoff even sells this in a copper colored bottle. The bottle’s label reads, just add ginger ale. The Original Smirnoff Moscow Mule is made with 1.5 Oz. Smirnoff No. 21 Vodka, 4 Oz. Ginger Beer, and a squeeze of fresh lime. It doesn’t sound that complicated. As with all of my reviews Smirnoff Moscow Mule Vodka will be reviewed as a stand alone product. I will also mix and sample a Moscow Mule made with this vodka and ginger ale and offer my comments. Read more
