Smirnoff Vodka

Smirnoff No. 21 is the world’s best-selling vodka — triple-distilled and filtered ten times for a clean, dependable spirit built to mix.

Smirnoff traces its recipe to the charcoal-filtration method pioneered by Pyotr Smirnov in 19th-century Moscow, a process the brand still leans on today. The vodka is triple-distilled and passed through filtration ten times, yielding a neutral, approachable character that has made it a default cocktail base in bars and homes worldwide.

At 40% ABV it’s built for versatility rather than sipping ceremony: clean enough to disappear into a mixer, consistent enough to anchor a party-volume cocktail list. It’s the everyday workhorse of the category.
