From Manhattan to Munich, celebrate National Vodka Day with specialty drinks featuring every bar’s staple – vodka – from Aloft Hotels.
In honor of their 100th opening, the brand has curated two cocktails from their spotlight properties to highlight the liquor of honor. The Mule of Rock from Aloft FiDi mixes vodka with cranberry juice and ginger beer, and the Super Skinny from Aloft Munich is anything but skinny – blending vodka with white cream de cacao and blood orange mixer, and topped with a chocolate covered orange stick.
Cheers!
