With today being National Vodka Day and National Taco Day a few days away on Oct. 7th, Smirnoff is ready to make your celebrations twice as festive and twice as flavorful. As the world’s No. 1 vodka, Smirnoff No. 21 brings the perfect mix of smoothness, versatility, and affordability to any occasion. Whether you’re toasting to the spirit itself or pairing cocktails with your favorite tacos, Smirnoff has a drink for every moment worth celebrating.
Smirnoff No. 21 Vodka, the brand’s award-winning flagship, is triple-distilled and filtered ten times for a clean, crisp taste and a dry finish, making it ideal for sipping or mixing into your favorite cocktail. Its unmatched smoothness makes it the star of timeless classics like the Smirnoff Mule, a refreshing blend of ginger beer, lime, and mint that delivers a perfect balance of spice and zest. Fill a copper mug with ice, add 1½ oz Smirnoff No. 21, top with 4 oz ginger beer, squeeze in fresh lime, and garnish with mint for a drink that’s equal parts refreshing and celebratory.
For those who prefer something a little more sophisticated, the Smirnoff Cosmopolitan is a cocktail icon that never goes out of style. Combine 1 oz Smirnoff No. 21 with ½ oz triple sec, 1 oz cranberry juice, and ½ oz fresh lime juice. Shake well over ice, strain into a chilled martini glass, and finish with an elegant orange twist. The result? A bright, tart, and citrusy cocktail that’s as chic as it is easy to make.
Then, as National Taco Day rolls around, it’s time to turn up the heat with Smirnoff Spicy Tamarind, the sweet, tangy, and spicy Mexican-inspired vodka that’s made for pairing with bold, flavorful tacos. With its vibrant flavor profile and fiery kick, Smirnoff Spicy Tamarind transforms any meal into a fiesta.
Try it in the Piña Picante, a tropical cocktail that perfectly balances heat and sweetness. Shake together 1½ oz Smirnoff Spicy Tamarind, 1 oz pineapple juice, and ¼ oz simple syrup. Strain into a Collins glass with a chili lime–seasoned rim over ice, top with soda, and garnish with a pineapple wedge and marigold flower.
Or mix up a Spicy Tama-rita, the ultimate margarita-inspired vodka twist. Combine 1½ oz Smirnoff Spicy Tamarind, ¾ oz lime juice, and ¾ oz agave syrup. Shake, strain over ice in a chili lime–rimmed glass, and top with soda water. Garnish with lime and jalapeño for an extra kick.
From smooth sips to spicy celebrations, Smirnoff is here to keep your National Vodka Day and National Taco Day deliciously unforgettable, without breaking the bank.
