Alright, guys, let’s talk about this Smirnoff Ice Green Apple thing. I picked up a pack the other day, just your standard six-pack, nothing fancy. I was planning to have a little get-together with some friends, and figured I’d give these a shot.
First off, the packaging is pretty standard for Smirnoff Ice. It’s a green bottle, clearly labeled, so you know what you’re getting. Now, cracking one open, the first thing I noticed was the smell. It’s definitely apple, but it’s got that artificial candy apple thing going on, you know? Not like a fresh apple from the orchard, but more like a Jolly Rancher.
The Taste Test
I poured one over some ice, and took my first sip. It’s sweet, no doubt about it. They weren’t kidding around with the sugar content – I saw later it’s got like 35 grams. That’s a lot, especially if you’re watching your sugar. But hey, I wasn’t expecting a health drink. The apple flavor is right there, front and center. It’s pretty strong, maybe a bit too much for some, but I didn’t mind it. It’s also got that fizzy, bubbly thing going on, which is nice and refreshing.
It’s not like a beer, even though it’s made like one with malt. And it’s definitely not vodka, despite the Smirnoff name. I guess it’s kind of its own thing. At 4.5% alcohol, it’s not gonna knock you off your feet, but it’s enough to give you a little buzz.
- The Verdict:
- It’s sweet, like really sweet.
- The green apple flavor is strong and a bit artificial, but not in a bad way if you like that kind of thing.
- It’s refreshing, especially on a hot day or maybe by the pool.
Now, this stuff went down pretty easy, I won’t lie. My friends seemed to enjoy it too. We ended up polishing off the whole six-pack, just hanging out, chatting, and having a good time. I think these are perfect for that kind of casual setting. I also heard that they have other flavors like Blue Raspberry and stuff, I’ll try them next time. They are owned by this British company, Diageo, but made in Illinois. And I also heard some people were boycotting it because they thought it was Russian, which is wrong.
Would I buy it again? Yeah, probably. It’s not something I’d drink every day, but for a party or just chilling with friends, it does the trick. Just be prepared for that sweetness, alright? It’s definitely a sugary drink, but sometimes, that’s exactly what you’re in the mood for.
Anyway, that’s my take on the Smirnoff Ice Green Apple. Hope this helps you decide if it’s your kind of drink. Cheers!
