As true fans know, Smirnoff never passes up a SMASH hit. That's why, all weekend long, players 21+ are invited to enjoy flavorful competition at the Smirnoff SMASH Pickleball Court. Whether SMASH-ing it on the court or spectating from the sideline, pickleball fans can enjoy the latest double hit from Smirnoff SMASH Vodka Soda with all four vibrant flavors at the VIP Lounge and free Smirnoff swag up for grabs.
"We are excited to bring NOLA Pickle Fest back and team up with Smirnoff SMASH Vodka Soda to unite fans and enthusiastic players for this unique, festival-style pickleball tournament," said Brees. "This weekend is all about bringing the community together for fun and bold competition."
If you couldn't make it down South this time, never fear – Smirnoff is taking the competition on the road and calling all pickleball fans to join in on the Smirnoff SMASH Series! Bringing SMASH Vodka Soda's doubly delicious flavors to three additional markets, including Illinois, Michigan and Arizona, the new Ready-To-Drink offering is teaming up with local legends to host the tournaments and play alongside fans. Who knows, you might get a chance to meet (or beat) your favorite legend on the court! Dates to be announced in advance of other markets.
The Smirnoff SMASH Series follows the first-ever Smirnoff SMASH Pickle Bowl, where the brand served up pickleball with an unexpected twist and featured some of the biggest names in culture including Saweetie, Vernon Davis, Scheana Shay, and more. From football's biggest weekend in February to our colorful court in NOLA, we're bringing SMASH hits wherever we go.

"As an OG of flavor and fun, we look to encourage fans (21+) who both love pickleball and all the celebrations that come after the game with friends, family and colleagues. It's one of the most popular sports bringing the collective together, and we will keep elevating it in the coming months."
