Have you tried Smirnoff Red, White and Berry vodka yet? I first tried it at my cocktail hour during my home reception with my wife. We created a cocktail featuring the deliciously, fruity spirit, and our guests loved it. So much so that we ran out of all three bottles within the first two hours.
If there is one thing I love it's going to brunch with friends. There's nothing quite like enjoying a few cocktails with your buds while gorging on delicious foods between breakfast and lunch.
I’m not really sure when this became a thing, but as soon as Fall hits we are all inundated with
While fall has officially been here for a week now, I think it’s safe to say that it definitely hasn’t
This holiday season, I'm treating my (21+) party guests to some peppermint flavored cocktails, made with Smirnoff Peppermint Twist vodka.
