Thirsty Tuesday-SMIRNOFF Pineapple Coconut Review

***Disclosure-Sample product was received to review.  All opinions stated are based on my own personal experience.

It is a new year.  If you are like me, you are trying to be a healthier you this year.  But being healthy does not mean you have to give up on things you like, you just have to make better choices.

Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years all just past.  It does not seem that long ago.  What do each of these have in common?  To us, it is a gathering of family and friends are having a good time.  We started having house parties the year I moved into my new house.  Friends started introducing us to their favorite cocktails and drinks of their choice.  I like trying new cocktails, especially ones that I do not have to feel guilty about.
Full-flavored, sorbet-inspired vodka with natural fruit flavor, containing juicy, ripe pineapple and creamy toasted coconut notes.  It offers sophisticated fun with only 78 calories per 1.5 fl. oz.

SMIRNOFF announced the latest addition to the Sorbet Light line, which hit shelves in mid-January: Pineapple Coconut, a reduced-calorie vodka specialty that is a guilt-free treat, requiring no sacrifice!
Delivering the same satisfying taste of real scoops of icy sorbet, SMIRNOFF Sorbet Light Pineapple Coconut is infused with the all-natural flavorings of fresh juicy pineapple combined with the luscious, sweet taste of coconut.
