The kick-off party featured various side activities for product testing and audience participation, including interactive games such as "Guess that Smirnoff," Smoothest Talker, Smoothest Skin and Best Mix. Unique Smirnoff concoctions were served at the open bar with Smirnoff aficionados sipping down favorites like the Smirnoff Martini, Smirnoff Dirty Martini, Smirnoff Lemon Drop Martini, Smirnoff Red Sting and Smirnoff Beachcomber.
Adding more spice and excitement to the Smirnoff Experience "Shift To Smooth" Party Series at Embassy was the introduction of the new batch of party liaisons, The Smirnoff Six, which was composed of up-and-coming talents Alessandra Tinio, David Milan, Gian Sim, Hannah Cruz, Lyanne Uy and Kat Cruz. These personalities, coming from diverse backgrounds but all having great influence on their peers, embody the "Smirnoff personality" – smooth, confident and outgoing.
Smirnoff, the world’s leading premium vodka brand, was chosen by the New York Times as its hands-down favorite from among 21 of the world’s finest vodkas. Smirnoff launched the Smirnoff Experience in 1997 in the United Kingdom and took the concept around the world in December 2001.

BIANCA CRISOLOGO
Which body part would you like to feel smooth all the time? My face! I am an avid user of sunscreen, moisturizer and eye cream. Call me prissy but I believe it’s better to start now than risk resembling a prune in the future.
YANEE ORTEGA
Which drinks smoothen your social skills? Coco Lychee martini because of its unique flavor: it makes the alcohol more smooth and refreshing.
MICHELLE MADRIGAL
When does being smooth become a danger? When you meet your match because the other person’s bite might be stronger than your bark. But it’s fun as well.
AUDREY EDRACOT
Do you prefer playing hard and rough or smooth and soft with your lover? Neither because I don’t have a lover.
LYANNE UY
What was smoothest come-on you’ve ever received? I don’t really like come- ons. I like my men to be as real as possible. The better the drink, the better his chances are, though.
