How many calories are in a Smirnoff Ice?
A 12 fl oz bottle of sweetened flavored malt beverage, the Smirnoff Ice format, carries 245 calories, and the drink runs 68 calories per 100 g. Sugar is a bit over half of that: 35.2 g in a single bottle. Pour 8 fl oz into a glass over ice instead and you land at 163.
You'd need to walk about 49 minutes to burn the 245 calories in a 12 fl oz bottle (360 g).

Smirnoff Ice quick facts
Alcoholic drinks are exempt from the FDA Nutrition Facts label, so there is no Smirnoff row in the USDA Branded database and never will be. The closest thing to a real record is the generic category the drink belongs to: FNDDS 2710619, "Alcoholic malt beverage, sweetened", from the 2021-2023 survey release. At 68 calories per 100 g it lines up with the label: the 11.2 fl oz US bottle works out to roughly 228 calories, our own scaling of that 100 g figure.
The USDA household serving for that record is a 12 fl oz bottle or can weighing 360 g, which is the column below. That is a slightly bigger pour than the 11.2 fl oz bottle most stores sell, and the difference is worth about 17 calories.
| Nutrient | Per 100 g | Per 1 bottle, 12 fl oz (360 g) | % Daily Value |

| Total fat | 0 g | 0 g | 0% |
| Saturated fat | 0 g | 0 g | 0% |

Verified nutrition data
Numbers on this page come from USDA FoodData Central, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s food composition database, and from manufacturer labels where a branded product is named. Last verified September 2026. How we verify our data →
Two rows you would expect on a can are missing here. Added sugars and trans fat are not published in this FNDDS release for malt beverages, so there is no honest number to print and both rows come out rather than get guessed. Cholesterol is 0 mg. Potassium is 27 mg per 100 g, or 97 mg per bottle, which is 2% of the Daily Value. The FDA Daily Value reference is what every percentage on this page is measured against.
One more thing the table cannot show: alcohol itself. USDA reports the energy, but the calories from ethanol are not broken out into their own row, which is exactly why the carbohydrate line looks too small to explain a 245-calorie drink.
US servings from a splash to a 16 oz can
| Serving | Weight | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| 1 fl oz | 30 g | 20 kcal |
| 1 oz by weight | 28.4 g | 19 kcal |
| 1 glass, 8 fl oz | 240 g | 163 kcal |
| 1 bottle or can, 12 fl oz | 360 g | 245 kcal |
| 1 tall can, 16 fl oz | 480 g | 326 kcal |
| Per 100 g | 100 g | 68 kcal |
The 12 fl oz bottle, the 16 fl oz can and the 1 fl oz pour are USDA household measures for this record. The 8 fl oz glass and the 1 oz weight row are our own arithmetic from the USDA 100 g figure, not USDA servings.
Watch the fluid ounce versus ounce trap, because it costs people calories all week. A fluid ounce of this drink weighs about 30 g, an ounce by weight is 28.4 g, and the two are close enough that they look interchangeable in a logging app. They are not: scale that gap up to a 16 fl oz can and the difference is real. Log by the container, not by the ounce.
The tall can is the one that surprises people. Going from the 12 fl oz bottle to the 16 fl oz can adds 81 calories, which is a third more drink for the same act of opening one.
Malt beverage versions and their numbers
| Version | Per 100 g | Typical serving | Calories |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sweetened malt beverage, the Smirnoff Ice type | 68 kcal | 1 bottle, 12 fl oz (360 g) | 245 kcal |
| Same drink, 16 fl oz can | 68 kcal | 480 g | 326 kcal |
| Same drink, 8 fl oz glass | 68 kcal | 240 g | 163 kcal |
| Same drink, 1 fl oz pour | 68 kcal | 30 g | 20 kcal |
| Unsweetened alcoholic malt beverage | 58 kcal | 12 fl oz (360 g) | 209 kcal |
| Non-alcoholic malt beverage | 37 kcal | 1 cup (237 g) | 88 kcal |
The unsweetened alcoholic malt beverage is the useful comparison, because it isolates the sugar. It runs 58 calories per 100 g against 68 for the sweetened version, a gap of only 10. But its carbohydrate is 0.27 g against 10.07 g. In other words, all the sweetening in a bottle of Smirnoff Ice buys about 36 calories; the rest of the drink was already there.
Drop the alcohol and the picture changes far more. The non-alcoholic malt beverage record sits at 37 calories per 100 g with 8.05 g of sugar, which is nearly as sweet as the alcoholic version at little more than half the energy.
There is no separate USDA record for the light or zero-sugar versions of flavored malt drinks, so this page does not put a number on them. On the non-alcoholic side USDA does list branded malt drinks, ranging from about 32 calories per 100 g for a peach malt beverage up to 68 for a full-sugar malta, the same density as the alcoholic sweetened record. Those are sugar comparisons, not alcohol ones.
Where the 245 calories actually come from
Run the arithmetic yourself and the bottle stops being mysterious. Carbohydrate is 36.3 g, and carbohydrate delivers 4 calories per gram, so carbohydrate accounts for roughly 145 of the 245 calories. The remaining 100 or so come from the ethanol, which carries 7 calories per gram and appears nowhere on the table above. That split is our own arithmetic from the USDA figures, not a USDA row, but it explains why a drink with no fat and no protein still costs as much as a sandwich.
That is the single most useful fact on this page. If you switch to a diet mixer or a zero-sugar version, you remove the 145; the alcohol calories stay. If you switch to a non-alcoholic malt drink, you remove most of the other 100 and keep the sweetness.
Sodium is a non-issue at 18 mg per bottle, 1% of the Daily Value, which is less than a hundredth of a teaspoon of table salt. Protein and fat are both zero, so nothing here contributes to satiety. Carbohydrate at 13% of the Daily Value is the only row on the label that moves at all.
For alcohol itself, the Dietary Guidelines for Americans define a standard drink as 14 g of pure alcohol and advise adults who drink to keep it to two drinks or fewer a day for men and one or fewer for women, while the CDC's overview of alcohol use covers who should not drink at all. A 12 fl oz bottle at typical flavored-malt strength is close to one standard drink, so three of them on a Saturday is 735 calories before food.
How does Smirnoff Ice compare?
| Drink | Per 100 g | US serving | Calories |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sweetened malt beverage, Smirnoff Ice type | 68 kcal | 1 bottle, 12 fl oz (360 g) | 245 kcal |
| Unsweetened alcoholic malt beverage | 58 kcal | 12 fl oz (360 g) | 209 kcal |
| Non-alcoholic malt beverage | 37 kcal | 1 cup (237 g) | 88 kcal |
| Fast-food cola | 37 kcal | 12 fl oz (360 g) | 133 kcal |
The cola serving is our own arithmetic from its USDA 100 g figure rather than a listed household measure. Even so the ranking is clear: at 68 calories per 100 g the sweetened malt beverage is the densest drink in the table, and the two lightest records tie at 37.
Our take: if you are counting, the honest framing is that one bottle costs about as much as a glazed donut and leaves you no fuller. Two bottles is 490 calories, which is a full dinner's worth. The swap that saves the most is size, not brand. An 8 fl oz glass over ice is 163 calories and drinks like the same thing, and dropping the tall can back to a bottle saves 81 without changing anything else. If you want the flavor without the arithmetic, a non-alcoholic malt beverage gets you to 88 calories a cup at nearly the same sugar per 100 g.

Smirnoff Ice FAQs
How many calories are in a Smirnoff Ice?
245 calories in a 12 fl oz bottle, using the USDA record for sweetened alcoholic malt beverage at 68 calories per 100 g. The 11.2 fl oz bottle sold in most US stores works out to about 228 by our own arithmetic from the same 100 g figure.
How many carbs are in a Smirnoff Ice?
36.3 g of carbohydrate in a 12 fl oz bottle, which is 13% of the Daily Value, from 10.07 g per 100 g. Practically all of it is sugar, since fiber is zero. A 16 fl oz can pushes that to roughly 48 g by the same arithmetic.
How much sugar is in a Smirnoff Ice?
35.2 g of total sugars in a 12 fl oz bottle, or 9.77 g per 100 g. That is 97% of the carbohydrate in the drink. USDA does not publish an added sugars figure for malt beverages in this release, so no added-sugar percentage can be given here.
How many calories in a 16 oz Smirnoff Ice can?
326 calories for a 16 fl oz can weighing 480 g. That is 81 more than the 12 fl oz bottle, a third more drink for the same single serving. Carbohydrate scales with it, to roughly 48 g, and sugar to about 47 g.
Is Smirnoff Ice more caloric than beer?
Per 100 g, yes: 68 calories against 58 for the USDA record for unsweetened alcoholic malt beverage, which is the closest generic beer-style entry. Over a 12 fl oz serving that is 245 against 209. The whole gap is sugar, since carbohydrate is 10.07 g against 0.27 g.
Does Smirnoff Ice have protein or fat?
Zero of both. USDA lists 0 g protein, 0 g total fat, 0 g saturated fat and 0 mg cholesterol per 100 g and per bottle. Every one of the 245 calories comes from sugar and alcohol, which is why the drink does nothing for fullness at any size.
Is Smirnoff Ice keto friendly?
36.3 g of carbohydrate in one 12 fl oz bottle, which is more than a day's allowance on most low-carb plans that cap carbs around 20 to 30 g. The unsweetened alcoholic malt beverage record is 0.27 g per 100 g, so under 1 g a serving, if carbs are the constraint.
How much sodium is in a Smirnoff Ice?
18 mg per 12 fl oz bottle, from 5 mg per 100 g, which is 1% of the 2,300 mg Daily Value. That is a negligible amount, well under a hundredth of a teaspoon of table salt. Potassium is 97 mg a bottle, or 2% of its Daily Value.
