Smirnoff Introduces Minty Jamun, Mirchi Mango and Zesty Lime

Smirnoff is set to shake up India’s flavour landscape with the launch of three bold new variants—Minty Jamun, Mirchi Mango and Zesty Lime—created especially for the evolving tastes of modern India. The exciting new flavours are available in Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and Maharashtra.

Whether it’s a fiery Mirchi Mango margarita, a Minty Jamun spritz with nostalgic flair, or a simple Zesty Lime soda pitcher, this new range unlocks versatile drinking possibilities—whether sipped, or mixed.

“We’re seeing a clear shift in how young Indians approach their favourite spirits—they want global brands to build a stronger local connect that is fresh and premium and yet playful. With Minty Jamun, Mirchi Mango, and Zesty Lime we’re not just offering new flavours, we’re creating moments of discovery that are vibrant, social, and rooted in today’s cultural codes,” said Ruchira Jaitly, CMO, Diageo India.

Each flavour has been thoughtfully developed to reflect the mood and momentum of the modern Indian consumer: Minty Jamun is a throwback with a twist—evoking childhood nostalgia with a fresh, modern take; Mirchi Mango piques curiosity with a sweet-spicy punch inspired by India’s love for heat and tropical fruit; and Zesty Lime brings an easy-going zing that makes it a go-to for group occasions and cocktail starters.

The launch is anchored in the brand’s new India-first campaign “Flavour is a Vibe” — a call to explore taste with freedom, fun, and community.
