Smirnoff Vanilla
Smirnoff No. 21 with a soft, creamy vanilla flavor. Just as strong as the original, but rounder: made for coffee cocktails, a glass with ginger ale, and anyone who wants a softer vodka to sip neat.
No. 21 with a soft vanilla edge
Smirnoff Vanilla starts with the same spirit as the red-label classic: award-winning, triple-distilled Smirnoff No. 21 Vodka. It’s then given a soft, creamy vanilla flavor, with subtle sweetness and a smooth finish. It’s still vodka, not a liqueur: you taste vanilla, but not syrup.
Unlike Smirnoff’s lighter fruit flavors, Vanilla stays at 37.5% alcohol, just like No. 21. So you can use it one-to-one in any recipe that calls for vodka. It’s made for mixed drinks and cocktails, but it’s also surprisingly enjoyable neat and ice-cold.
At a glance
Vanilla you can smell, vodka you can feel
Soft vanilla
As soon as you pour it, you smell vanilla, soft and creamy, without the perfume-like note of a cheap syrup.

Smooth
A smooth finish with a lingering hint of vanilla. Warm enough to remind you that it’s 37.5%.
Smirnoff Vanilla’s flavor profile neat and chilled. Mixed with coffee or cola, its creaminess stands out most.
How to get the most out of Smirnoff Vanilla
Vanilla is a vodka for mixing. Coffee, ginger, and cola are the three flavors it benefits from most.
In an Espresso Martini
50 ml Smirnoff Vanilla, 30 ml fresh espresso and 20 ml coffee liqueur, shaken very hard with ice and strained into a chilled coupe. No need for separate vanilla syrup.
View recipe →Vanilla & ginger ale
40 ml Smirnoff Vanilla with 150 ml ginger ale in a highball glass filled with ice, with a slice of lime. The ginger keeps the vanilla fresh; with cola, it becomes richer and sweeter.
Highball glasses →Ice-cold and neat
Put the bottle in the freezer for a few hours and pour 3 cl into a small, chilled glass. The cold makes it syrupy and brings out the vanilla more gently.
Shot glasses →Cocktails where vanilla vodka makes all the difference
Use Smirnoff Vanilla in recipes where coffee, cream or tropical fruit takes center stage.
Espresso Martini
Vodka, espresso and coffee liqueur. Vanilla makes the foam creamier and softens the coffee's bitterness.
Pornstar Martini
The recipe calls for vanilla vodka; Smirnoff Vanilla is just right with the passion fruit and lime.
Black Russian
Vodka and coffee liqueur over ice. Vanilla makes it a drink with a hint of tiramisu.
French Martini

A coupe for the Espresso Martini, a martini glass for the Pornstar, a tumbler for the Black Russian and a slender highball glass for Vanilla with ginger ale.
