What type of vodka is used in the Coconut Matcha Sour?

The Coconut Matcha Sour is crafted specifically with Smirnoff vodka, which is known for its clean and neutral flavor profile. Using vodka in this cocktail allows the unique ingredients, such as coconut and matcha, to shine without being overpowered by the spirit. Smirnoff vodka's versatility makes it an excellent choice for a wide variety of cocktails, particularly those that incorporate additional flavors, as it blends well and complements other ingredients without dominating them.

The other options listed include spirits that possess distinct flavor characteristics which would not fit well in this particular cocktail. For instance, Tanqueray Malacca gin and both types of tequila (Don Julio Blanco and El Jimador Blanco) have their own robust flavor profiles that could clash with the subtlety of coconut and matcha, thereby altering the intended taste and experience of the Coconut Matcha Sour.
