Smirnoff entered the low-cal drinking world this week with the launch of Smirnoff Sorbet Light. The new product is aimed to impress those of us that like to enjoy dessert without the guilt of eating a pint of ice cream. With only 78 calories per serving, the liquid dessert will come in Raspberry Pomegranate, Mango Passionfruit and Lemon. Like we said last week, you can have your cake and drink it too.
Drinking mysterious grain alcohol out of a mason jar is sketchy. We’re not trying to deny it, but Firefly is working on changing our minds. The sweet tea vodka kings have announced their new Firefly Moonshine and we’re intrigued.

Everyone’s favorite cheap vodka is trying to class it up this spring. Burnett’s is releasing a new package design that will give the brand a more upscale and quality look, while keeping the cheapo price. In addition to the makeover, Burnett’s is also launching two new flavors: Cherry Cola and Strawberry Banana. The new packaging and flavors will debut later this month. It’s not usually our go-to vodka but maybe we should give Burnett’s another try.
