Mumbai: UK-based distiller Diageo Plc on Wednesday introduced its first pre-mixed vodka in the Indian market with the launch of Smirnoff Ice, a variant of the world’s top selling vodka brand Smirnoff.

Smirnoff Ice Black, which has a strong and intense taste, and the lighter lemon flavoured Smirnoff Ice Original are priced between 75 and 110 (275ml bottle) in Goa and Karnataka, where the brands will be available shortly.

Pre-mixed alcoholic drinks are a blend of fruit flavours and a low percentage of alcohol. The demand for such brands is growing in India mainly due to changing customer preferences and convenience.
