Smirnoff Ice SUCKS
-
I just tried this for the first time... YEEUCH! I mean, it's not gross or anything, but it tastes like freakin' fruit juice. I can barely even taste the alcohol (not that there's much there, it's only 5%). [edit]Here in the US, we get a different version of the drink (no vodka) than the rest of the world. That sucks, too.[/edit] --Mike-- Just released - 1ClickPicGrabber - Grab & organize pictures from your favorite web pages, with 1 click! My really out-of-date homepage Sonork-100.19012 Acid_Helm

Yeah... I don't really see the appeal of all these new not-quite-soft drinks. Vodka mixes well with many different liquids, if you really can't stand to drink your juice/coffee/lemonade/milk without some alcohol in. Or be honest about it and drink cider. Personally, i blame the lack of flavor in popular "lite" beer for this trend. X| Shog9 ------ If you really what to get shitfacde tell a crowded bar that is is yourt borthday and hife your wallet. you ka will many more friends.

It's very very big over here. Have it on draught over here... don't know if they have it over there. Black Smirnoff Ice is very nice. Personally I think Smirnoff Ice isn't the best and at €5 a pint [Guinness/Stouts are about €3.40 and other pints about €3.75 in a pub and €4.20 in a club] it's a bit steep. Regards, Brian Dela :-)

I love it. :) I can't tolerate any lager or beer. Plus, my local does a £1 a bottle night. I can get so drunk that I become temporarily blind for £10. :D

Hmmm... did you try the original with a red label, or the new Black? The new Black is not as nice as the original, which has more of a refreshing lemony taste :cool: The following statement about your geekness is true.

Mix it with half a lager, and you get an evil shandy, and a monster headache in the morning... X| B.

I see you are talking about the US version (I hear it is comparable to three day old warm beer?), the RoW version is really quite drinkable though nothing really special. I agree with Brian tohugh - Black Ice is really very nice indeed, and from the label I assume it is basically the same recipe but with Smirnoff Black and less "cloudy" food dye. I could be wrong though, I never did bother to ask what was in it. Black Ice is to Smirnoff Ice what carbonated spring water is to tap water.

You won't appreciate the pic in my profile then :) (With proper vodka-containing smirnoff ice) -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit!

You mean you can drink carbonated water? I tried some once and nearly threw up. Obviously not the taste, just the sensation. Bubbles and water just don't mix. Except perhaps, in a spa. :D
