Add some fireworks to your next vodka cocktail and skip the run to the fire extinguisher with Smirnoff's Red, White & Berry limited edition vodka. With its snappy red, white, and blue label, this Smirnoff is a summertime long, fireworks-filled weekend in a bottle. A flavor explosion of cherry (boom!), citrus (oohh!), and blue raspberry (ahh!), you can add that extra sparkle of the Red, White & Blue Smirnoff to a classic vodka drink or whip up something with a little more rocket power.

What Is Red, White & Blue Smirnoff?

At first glance, a bottle of Smirnoff's Red, White & Berry vodka is very unassuming. But inside the bottle is a berry sweet surprise.

  • Red, White & Berry skews a little sweeter than some flavored vodkas but with cherry, citrus, and blue raspberry packed in one bottle, it's a versatile addition to your shelf.
  • Contrary to all the flavors and the label, you'll find that this vodka is as crystal clear as Smirnoff's usual vodkas. This means you can use juices and mixers to add your own red, white, and blue color to cocktails or shots.
  • At 30% ABV or 60 proof, Red, White & Berry Smirnoff isn't as boozy as their traditional vodka (40%) or some of their other flavored vodkas (such as lime, vanilla, and citrus), which clock in at 35% ABV.
  • Red, White & Berry won't break your diet - this freedom-fruit vodka is 93 calories for 1½ ounces, pretty comparable to a typical shot of Pink Whitney as well as unflavored vodkas.
  • And the best news yet, this limited-edition flavor is far from costly: it's around $14 for a 740mL bottle.
