Vodka Cruiser is a line of brightly coloured vodka-based alcoholic beverages primarily sold in Australia and New Zealand. Sometimes described as an alcopop, this premixed drink is available in seventeen flavours, including guava, lemon, lime, passion fruit, pineapple, raspberry, and other flavours depending on location. The product originates from New Zealand, and is produced by Asahi Premium Beverages, formerly known as Independent Liquor.[2]

Vodka Cruisers normally come in 275 ml (9.3 oz) bottles, so each bottle contains slightly less alcohol than a standard shot. In 2022, Asahi Australia launched a range of limited-edition 3.1L "Double Magnum" sized bottles, containing the volume of roughly 11 regular cruisers, which could be won in a giveaway to celebrate the brand's 21st birthday.[3]
