Product details
Smirnoff Spicy Tamarind 70cl is a Mexican-inspired flavoured spirit from Smirnoff, combining Smirnoff vodka with tangy tamarind and a spicy edge, bottled at 30% ABV. Fruity, sweet and sour tamarind comes first, followed by a gentle building warmth, echoing the way Mexican cooks pair tamarind with spice. At 30% ABV it is a lighter-strength spirit drink rather than a vodka, so shoppers looking for a tamarind vodka should expect a softer style. It suits people who enjoy Palomas and other savoury-sour long drinks. Wodka Company delivers Smirnoff Spicy Tamarind across the UK from its shop in London.
Spicy Tamarind tasting notes
- Nose: Tangy tamarind pulp, lime and a hint of warm spice.
- Palate: Sweet and sour, with tamarind fruitiness and a gradually building warmth.
- Finish: Lightly spicy and tangy, with a lingering glow.
The heat is gentle rather than fiery, and the fruit stays in the foreground.
How to serve Smirnoff Spicy Tamarind
Serve it chilled over ice with a citrus mixer, ideally in a highball with a salted rim. Mexican-style street food is the obvious match: tacos al pastor, nachos with salsa, grilled corn with lime or a bowl of guacamole. It works well at a taco night, a summer barbecue or any casual get-together where bold flavours are on the table.
