Smirnoff Zero Sugar Infusions Strawberry & Rose 750ML

Smirnoff Zero Sugar Infusions Strawberry & Rose 750ML is a zero-sugar flavored vodka bottled at 30% ABV (60 proof) in a 750ml format. What distinguishes this expression from the crowded flavored vodka market is its combination of natural strawberry and rose petal flavors with absolutely no added sugar and no artificial flavors — a genuine rarity in the category.
Quick Facts: ABV: 30%  |  Origin: Illinois, United States  |  Flavored Vodka (NAS)  |  Produced by: Diageo (Plainfield, IL)
Production & Heritage
Smirnoff traces its roots to 1864 in Moscow, Russia, and is now produced by Diageo, the world’s largest spirits company. The Strawberry & Rose expression is produced at Diageo’s Plainfield, Illinois facility using Smirnoff’s signature triple distillation process followed by ten stages of charcoal filtration — a method designed to produce an exceptionally clean, smooth base spirit. That filtered base is then infused with natural strawberry and rose flavors, resulting in a flavored vodka that achieves its sweetness profile entirely without sugar, a notable departure from many flavored vodkas that rely heavily on added sweeteners.
Tasting Notes
Aroma: A delightful fragrance leads with ripe strawberry, followed by a gentle floral quality from rose petal. The nose is light and inviting without any sharp alcohol edge, reflecting the lower 30% ABV.
Taste: The entry is soft and fruity, with a delicate, slightly sweet strawberry character that avoids the cloying quality found in many sugar-laden flavored vodkas. At mid-palate, rose petal emerges as a subtle floral counterpoint, adding dimension. The overall impression is balanced and clean, with the fruit feeling natural rather than candied.
Finish: Refreshing and relatively brief, with lingering strawberry and a whisper of rose. The clean base spirit from the extensive charcoal filtration ensures no bitterness or artificial aftertaste.
How to Drink Strawberry & Rose
This infusion works well chilled and served on the rocks or with a splash of soda water to let the natural flavors come through without dilution from heavy mixers. A Strawberry Rose Spritz — topped with prosecco and a twist of lemon — showcases the floral-fruit character in a light, effervescent format. A Vodka Soda with fresh strawberry garnish keeps things simple while highlighting the zero-sugar advantage. A Frosé-style blended cocktail using frozen strawberries and ice builds on the berry and rose notes for a refreshing warm-weather drink.

Why Strawberry & Rose?
The zero-sugar, no-artificial-flavors proposition is the clearest reason this expression earns attention in a saturated flavored vodka field. While many competitors lean on added sugar to create sweetness, Smirnoff achieves its strawberry-rose profile entirely through natural flavor infusion into a rigorously filtered base spirit. The ten-stage charcoal filtration produces a clean canvas that lets the fruit and floral notes register without interference from harsh grain character. For anyone navigating the flavored vodka aisle with sugar content as a deciding factor, this remains one of the most straightforward options available at its price tier.
