Fusion is inevitable. Sometimes it’s great and sometimes it’s preposterous. At first we thought this combination of spring water and alcohol was an excuse to charge extra for two overpriced items but we were proven otherwise.

Smirnoff Source is a premium malt beverage offering a low calorie beverage with a hint of citrus (3.5% alcohol) in 16 oz. glass bottles. It tastes a bit like iced green tea or water with lemon and a touch of sweetner. How they manage 3.5% alcohol is beyond us but it works.

What this means to you: Even if you’re not keen on mixing your dehydrators with hydrators consider this the perfect cure for your hangover.
