Smirnoff Hipster Product Review By Afzal Kaba

Author: Ashifa Bano

A martini garnished with green olives on a toothpick sits on a wooden surface, with shelves of bottles in the blurred background.

Smirnoff instigated the cocktail revolution of the ’50s and revolutionised the club culture of the '90s. Years later, it is still the drinker’s choice. While Smirnoff had its beginnings in Russia, Vladimir Smirnoff fled the country during the Revolution and re-established the brand in Europe more than a century ago. Today, it has a presence in the US, Canada, Great Britain, Italy, Australia, Jamaica, Brazil, Argentina, India, Indonesia and Kenya.

Smirnoff Hipster Review

On the palate, Smirnoff is pretty neutral because it is distilled three times and filtered ten times. This strips away all the flavour but Smirnoff also has variables Green Apple and Orange.

Price Point

Smirnoff Hipster is pocket-friendly not only because it is easy to slide in your pocket but also because they are priced between Rs. 300-Rs. 500.

Ideal way to enjoy

The ideal way to enjoy Smirnoff is by mixing it with a Moscow Mule.
