Smirnoff’s flavored vodka lineup is the largest of any mainstream vodka brand, at times exceeding 35 distinct flavor expressions, which makes navigating it genuinely confusing without a structured guide. Having tracked the Smirnoff portfolio for cocktail program sourcing, I can give you the complete and accurate flavor list with ranking context.
Smirnoff flavors: complete list by category
Note on ABV: Most Smirnoff flavored vodkas are 35% ABV (70 proof), not 40% ABV, lower than Absolut, Grey Goose, or Tito’s flavored equivalents. Smirnoff No. 21 (original) is 40% ABV. Fruit flavors: Smirnoff Green Apple, Smirnoff Watermelon, Smirnoff Raspberry, Smirnoff Strawberry, Smirnoff Peach, Smirnoff Mango, Smirnoff Pineapple, Smirnoff Coconut, Smirnoff Citrus, Smirnoff Lemon, Smirnoff Grapefruit, Smirnoff Cherry, Smirnoff Blueberry, Smirnoff Passion Fruit, Smirnoff Wild Honey. Confectionery and dessert flavors: Smirnoff Whipped Cream, Smirnoff Kissed Caramel, Smirnoff Iced Cake, Smirnoff Fluffed Marshmallow, Smirnoff Root Beer Float, Smirnoff Cinna-Sugar Twist, Smirnoff Vanilla. Spicy and savory: Smirnoff Spicy Tamarind (one of Smirnoff’s fastest-growing US flavors, driven by US Hispanic market demand), Smirnoff Tamarind. Specialty and limited: Smirnoff Sourced (100% fruit juice infused, 30% ABV), Apple, Cranberry Apple, Ruby Red Grapefruit. These are significantly lower ABV and higher fruit content than the standard flavor line. Smirnoff Infusions (40% ABV): Smirnoff Infusions Cucumber and Lime, Smirnoff Infusions Watermelon and Mint, Smirnoff Infusions Strawberry and Rose. Higher quality tier than the standard flavored line, these use natural botanical infusions rather than concentrate flavor. Total active expressions: Approximately 30–38 flavors globally depending on market, with approximately 20–25 available in the US simultaneously.

Common Questions
Which Smirnoff flavor is best for mixed drinks?
For most mixed drink applications, Smirnoff Green Apple is the most versatile and widely applicable Smirnoff flavor, it works in appletinis, vodka sodas with apple juice, fall-season cocktails, and party punches. For Bloody Mary applications where Smirnoff is being used: Smirnoff No. 21 (original) is the standard choice, the original 40% ABV unflavored vodka performs better in savory applications than the 35% ABV flavored variants. For summer party formats: Smirnoff Watermelon with lemonade or soda water is the highest-volume simple cocktail from the Smirnoff line. For serious cocktail applications: the Smirnoff Infusions range (40% ABV, natural botanical infusions) outperforms the standard flavor concentrate line in cocktails where spirit quality is perceptible. Smirnoff Infusions Cucumber and Lime is particularly well-suited to refreshing summer gin-adjacent vodka cocktails. The dessert flavors (Whipped Cream, Kissed Caramel, Iced Cake) are best treated as specialty party cocktail ingredients rather than all-purpose mixing spirits, they work in narrow flavor contexts and can overwhelm drinks that aren’t specifically built around their sweetness.
