Vodka brand owner Smirnoff is expanding its seltzer range with the launch of its fruity and refreshing Mixed Berries flavour. 

The ready-to-drink mix of Smirnoff No.21 Premium Vodka is an addition to the range’s existing Mango, Natural Lime, Raspberry Rosé, and Passionfruit flavours. 

With 36 per cent less calories than a standard glass of wine and 53 per cent less calories than a standard beer can, the Mixed Berries Seltzer is a lighter option for those seeking moderation. 

The 70 calorie per serve and no sugar drink brings its refreshing touch with sparkling water and lightly flavoured natural fruit berry to give it a crisp profile. 

Smirnoff Seltzer Mixed Berries is available at Liquorland, First Choice and independent retailers for RRP $19.99 per four pack.
