Description
Smirnoff Gold Vodka is not just a drink — it’s an experience of elegance and indulgence. Crafted with the same care and precision that defines the Smirnoff legacy, this premium vodka takes things a notch higher by blending high-quality vodka with a hint of natural cinnamon flavor and suspending genuine 23-carat edible gold flakes in every bottle. The result is a beautifully presented, ultra-smooth spirit that adds glamor and sparkle to every pour.
Originally launched to bring an extra touch of luxury to the vodka scene, Smirnoff Gold was inspired by the extravagant tastes of ancient Russia, where gold was believed to have healing properties and was often used in royal feasts. Today, it remains a symbol of celebration and prestige, perfect for parties, special occasions, and gifting.

The spice is not overwhelming; rather, it’s subtle and aromatic, rounding out the drink’s finish and enhancing its warmth. The gold flakes, while tasteless, add a striking visual appeal that makes each glass feel special.
