Last night, Smirnoff vodka and LGBTQ television personality, Jonathan Van Ness, invited guests to join us in a larger-than-life pop-up corn maze experience in NYC to announce that, Smirnoff No. 21 Vodka, which has always been gluten-free, is now also non-GMO because everyone should be able to enjoy quality cocktails at an affordable price even if they have dietary restrictions or preferences!

Smirnoff has always been known in the vodka category for its top-notch quality at an affordable price. And, while Smirnoff No. 21 Vodka has always been gluten-free, 10-times filtered and triple-distilled, the brand is now offering its same quality vodka recipe, now non-GMO, without changing the suggested retail price because everyone, even those avoiding GMOs in their everyday lives, should be able to enjoy quality vodka without having to break the bank.

Smirnoff also teamed up with not one but two “American treasures” to help get the word out about the vodka’s exciting new non-GMO status: actor, producer and longtime brand partner Ted Danson and actress and author Jenna Fischer. The duo’s video features Jenna playfully swooping in to steal Ted’s thunder and announcing to the world that “Smirnoff No. 21 is now made with non-GMO [corn].” The video, which is an extension of Smirnoff’s recent “Welcome to the Fun%” campaign, debuted online today and will be rolling out on TV later this month.
