Make lemonade with double the sugar you normally would, mix with fresca and vodka, and then add more sugar.

Whoever said smirnoff ice is made in the same way as beer has to be wrong. I don't know exactly how it's made but could probably google it, but seeing as there's still fermentable sugars in it I don't see how it could be true.

Perhaps they ferment it, filter out the yeast, and then add sugar, but if this is the case this is far from beer.

It's the leading drink in a category called "malternatives" - alternatives to malt drinks such as beer. Smirnoff Ice is a vodka-based drink in other countries. But in the United States, it contains no vodka. It is one of the most successful product launches in beverage alcohol history and is particularly popular with young people and women. Smirnoff Ice outsells well-known beers such as Heineken and Corona, the company said.
