To kick off the 2022 NFL season, Smirnoff issued a call to football fans everywhere: serve up the best game day vibes and Smirnoff cocktails for a chance to be the brand’s first ever Cocktail Coordinator. Many answered the call, but only three remain. And the journey isn’t over just yet.

It all came down to a Final Interview, three contestants vied for the Best Job in America as the first-ever Smirnoff Cocktail Coordinator and board a private luxury transport bound for Super Bowl LVII as the brand’s guest of honor. The three finalists went head-to-head to show off their unrivaled passion for the game, hosting, and ultimately, their cocktail skills), to prove who had what it takes to Be the Cocktail Coordinator.

Our very own, Tania Ortega was selected as one of the finalists in the competition, which took place in Dallas. After a challenging competition, she was selected as the winner and has been named Smirnoff’s Cocktail Coordinator.

Courtesy of Smirnoff, she will board a private luxury jet to Arizona where she and here guests will be greeted by special surprises on board and ultimately be Smirnoff’s guest of honor at the biggest game of the season – Super Bowl LVII.
