Smirnoff Spicy Tamarind Vodka’s Special Spooky Bottle

October 15, 2020 — Halloween 2020 is sure to be different because everything else is. The dilemma is how to celebrate safely.  For adults, no need to go virtual or ruin your one chance of the year to play dress up.  Smirnoff Vodka has come to the rescue with the release of Spicy Tamarind in a seasonally appropriate glow-in-the-dark bottle. 

Smirnoff Spicy Tamarind got its start in Mexico where it quickly became the obsession of tourists.  The flavored spirit combines a bold combination of authentic Mexican flavors – sweet tamarind mixed with spicy Mexican chilies with notes of lime.  It is perfect as a chilled shot or as an ingredient to bring some sweet and spice to any simple cocktail.  The tamarind fruit contributes sweet and sour notes while the chilies deliver spice.

Pricing

MSRP is $12.99 for a 750 ml bottle.  It can also be purchased through on-demand services.
