“Bold flavors and fierce looks go hand in hand,” said Jennifer Holiday Hudson, North America Brand Leader at Smirnoff. “Smirnoff Spicy Tamarind is all about the harmony of sweet and spicy, and our collaboration with Glamsquad brings that same unexpected energy to makeup. Together, we’re celebrating the Hispanic community, showing that with Smirnoff Spicy Tamarind, no flavor—or look—is off-limits.”
First in the glam chair was the queen of GRWM: reality TV star Scheana Shay. Before heading out last Friday night in the city that never sleeps, guests (21+) joined Shay to sip the sweet and savor the spicy of signature Smirnoff Spicy Tamarind cocktails, such as the The Piña Picante, Smirnoff Spicy Tama-rita and Pineapple Drop Shot, while getting their glam on.
“I had so much fun getting ready with Smirnoff on National Vodka Day,” said Scheana Shay. “I felt inspired by the sweet notes of my favorite Smirnoff Spicy Tamarind cocktails, so I opted for Dulce Diva glam. And the best part is that Smirnoff Spicy Tamarind is serving up looks all month long, so I can’t wait to see what other bold glam moments I can pair with my favorite cocktails.”
SMIRNOFF SPICY TAMARIND WILL ALSO BE EMBRACING NEW ADVENTURES ON SCREENS
Filmed in Mexico, the new TVCs will reveal how every sip holds a sweet and spicy combination; the sweet can be savored with friends but the spiciness kicks in while exploring new places and when welcoming the thrill of the unexpected. Smirnoff Spicy Tamarind will also be swaying onto digital screens with content created by and featuring hispanic creators.
THE SPICY CELEBRATIONS CONTINUE
Smirnoff Spicy Tamarind will bring the Sweet & Spicy Glam Bar to Muertos Fest in San Antonio, Texas, from October 28 – 29 to help festival goers honor their cultural traditions around Dia de los Muertos.
