Advantages: Gets me drunk Disadvantages: Gets me drunk
...is the best one. Well Smirnoff Blue obviously, or this opinion would have been posted under a different category! I would actually drink anything from the Smirnoff range, but I find the 'Red' not strong enough and the 'Black' has a distinct taste I am not so keen on, so for me 'Blue' is perfect.
As I said before Vodka mixes with anything and in my time I have drunk it with, Lemon, lemonade and orange. One thing I can't abide is Vodka and Coke, Ugh! ... ...I do like expensive drinks, so I thought you might like to share the taste.
I have no idea if this is a 'known' cocktail or not, so no moaning in my comments section if it is, it's just something a friend made for me recently.
This is best served in the tallest glass you can find with a couple of ice cubes.
One shot of Vodka
One shot of Bacardi
One shot of Malibu
Pineapple
Orange
Grapefruit.
Ok, maybe it's best to mix up a huge amount first ...

Advantages: Highly toxic. Disadvantages: Makes you go yeeeurch.
...differences between those who drink Smirnoff and those who drink Tolstoy, or Cossack, or Yelstin, are a) the extent of their dignity, b) the depth of their pockets, c) the heights of their social aspiration, and d) the intensity of their toxic psychoses.
The vital statistics of the S.B. (14-47-75) will leave you gasping for air, but it does have a certain sheen of class (having, over certain other widely-advertised Russian beauties, the advantage ... ...75cl bottles (so neither the Smirnoff Red-style 1 litre catering-bottle or Street Drinker's half-bottle on offer). Expensive, certainly. Strong, yes, but then its strength is its, um, strength. Slimline and stylish-looking on the sideboard, of course, although, for that extra cachet, fork out for the Black. Drinking is all in the head, and you'll feel much better about yourself if it's this stuff you're knocking back instead of, yikes, Morrinov (on ...

Advantages: Versatile, Classic smooth taste Disadvantages: It is just vodka after all, expensive
...about! Fear not however, Smirnoff blue is here!
Firstly, excuse the obvious title steal from the recent Smirnoff advertisement campaign - I'm too lazy to think of a title myself!
Personally, vodka has never been my drink of choice, I'm usually impartial to a couple of pints of stella down at my local, or sometimes a couple of glasses of wine (don't tell anyone I drink wine please!). However, I can be seen to be drinking Smirnoff blue on a pretty ... ...that a couple of double Smirnoff Blue and coke's sets myself up nicely for a night on the town with the boys.
Secondly, Smirnoff vodka blue is an extremely smooth tasting vodka. As I mentioned earlier, although vodka isnt my drink of choice, I have tried and tested most of the vodka's available on the domestic market and to be frank, this is one of the best around. Obviously if you're not a vodka fan, this is definately not going to convert you ...

Advantages: tastes nice and clean Disadvantages: gets me very drunk
...pretty much anything. Having drunk Smirnoff Red mixed with Coke every time I went out for years now I fancied a change. Having seen Smirnoff Blue label Vodka in the supermarket I decided to give it a try. Being slightly stronger than standard vodka with an abv of 50% (100 proof) compared to the 37.5% (75 proof) red label Smirnoff, you can really taste the difference. The extra few pound it costs for the blue label really is worth it, The vodka tastes ... ...you want, then this is the vodka for you. At approximately £15 per bottle for such a fine vodka it really is worth every penny. Go buy some, mix it with a soft drink of your choice, and have in my opinion a sophisticated drink which wont cost you an arm and a leg. ...

Advantages: Get's you wasted Disadvantages: Tastes like vodka, expensive
I first tried Smirnoff vodka blue one night at uni before my flat and I went out to a club. If were going straight to a club we usually have a few drinks before we go out to make the night a lot cheaper and one game we'd come up with was vodka poker, a game that involves doing shots of vodka if you lose a hand. It basically means that a 70cl bottle of vodka between 3-4 people goes within 15 minutes but we figured that we'd try some stronger vodka ... ...first thing that we noticed other than the stronger taste was how quick it seemed to take affect compared to other vodka's, it definitely make me feel like I couldn't handle as many shots compared to normal but with a mixer it was easier to drink, especially fresh orange and red bull.
With it available at most supermarkets and off licences at just under £15 for a 70cl bottle (45%) it's defiantly a drink that you can have if you trying to get very ...

Blue, yeah great... but have you tried the BLACK LABEL 40% number. Now that makes your lips tingle. Can anyone tell me what possesses a company to make 40% Vodka???? there is only one possible explanation... to get you very very drunk. I am actually sitting here now sipping on one right now (hence the short entry)... I have to say that it is (like the red and blue) a very nice drink. Vodka in all it's etoh % is a very versatile drink, for many a ... ...it fits in with a whole lot of diet regimes.....LOL. It goes now very well believe it or not with diet coke. try it. so yes to the black and a thumbs up to the blue. and always always stay with smirnoff... But remember not to let it make you Black and Blue....sip..hmmmm that's good!!!!! ...
