Smirnoff Ice has, from what I count, nine flavors. Secretly, I've always assumed that they all taste the same: a little sparkly, mildly tart, and way too sweet.
So. Smirnoff Ice: Do they all taste the same?
Personally, I think it would be really funny if after the jump it just said "yes." But it doesn't, so read on as I give four flavors a fighting chance.
I have constructed myself a blind taste test involving four clear Smirnoff Ice flavors in glasses over ice. I didn't pay close attention to which flavors I picked up for this. I saw one had a green cap, so that's probably green apple-flavored.
Glass #1
Okay, this is green apple. I could smell it before I tasted it.
Glass #2
Strawberry? It tastes very sweet. It reminds me of a watermelon or grape Jolly Rancher. But I think it's strawberry.
Glass #3
Tastes uncannily like Ribena, the concentrated drink they love in England. Blackcurrant flavor. With booze.
Glass #4
Tastes just like glass #2. By the power of compare and contrast, I'd say that of the two, this is the strawberry. What on earth is #2?
The reveal!
Glass #1: Green Apple Bite. (Yes!)
Glass #2: Wild Grape. (Oops.)
Glass #3: Raspberry Burst. (Wrong. Them, not me.)
Glass #4: Strawberry Acai. (Acai??)
So. Smirnoff Ice: Do they all taste the same? No. But close. And I need to brush my teeth.

Ribena is a cordial - you dilute before drinking it.
