Tell us about Smithworks Vodka and what inspired you to get involved with this vodka brand.
I grew up in Ada, Oklahoma and was raised to value hard work, humility and an appreciation for the simple things that make life good... especially with good people. For me, Smithworks Vodka really embodies all of that. Smithworks was born and bred in the tradition of the Heartland, so its story hits home for me.
Smithworks Vodka is 100% American-made, with corn from Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma, and water from Lake Fort Smith in Arkansas. Hearing all of that for the first time was what got me interested in joining the Smithworks family.
Have you always been a vodka fan?
Oh, yeah! I’ve always been a vodka fan, so I wanted to find a brand of vodka that shared my values and cares about the things I do, and understands where I come from. Being there from the beginning has been exciting. I’ve gotten to really watch fans relate to Smithworks’ story, just like I did, as it grows into new parts of the country.
What do you enjoy most about your experience with Smithworks Vodka so far?
Smithworks is made in the Heartland. That's where I come from; that’s where I still call home. Really, it feels like family. Smithworks operates like one, and I’ve loved being a part of that from the beginning.
How do you prefer to drink Smithworks?
I like Smithworks with a little bit of diet lemon-lime soda and lime. It’s easy to make and tastes pretty damn good ... Perfect for hangin’ out at home with family or friends.
