Pour this over ice with soda and a wedge, and your kitchen suddenly feels like a rooftop bar. Smirnoff Citrus is that bright lemon-lime hit you want when plain vodka feels a bit serious and you'd rather the drink did half the work for you. It's the bottle that turns "I can't be bothered making cocktails" into a round of Sea Breezes in two minutes flat. And at a full litre, it doesn't tap out when the night gets going.
Crack the cap and it's zesty straight away: fresh lemon and lime with a little orange peel behind it, not sweet-shop fake but proper citrus. On the tongue it's smooth and clean, the citrus does a quick lap and then the vodka underneath stays out of your way. No harsh burn, no syrupy aftertaste. It's light enough to sip cold and bright enough to carry a whole cocktail on its own.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
The Smirnoff story starts with Pyotr Smirnov, who set up his Moscow distillery back in 1864 and pioneered charcoal filtration to get the spirit clean and smooth. The famous "No. 21" recipe came later, carried out of Russia by his son after the Revolution. These days it's made in the UK and the citrus version simply takes that same triple-distilled, ten-times-filtered base and infuses it with natural citrus. Old name, fresh twist.
