In 1941, when brown spirits were popular and vodka barely known, the brand that is #MadeInAmerica, SMIRNOFF, invented America’s most loved cocktail – the original Moscow Mule! Food and drink trends come and go but no vodka cocktail is more iconic, even over 75 years later.
While the original Moscow Mule was crafted with SMIRNOFF No. 21 Vodka, ginger beer and lime, if you were at Monday night’s New York Taste event, you would have undoubtedly noticed that SMIRNOFF brought a fun seasonal twist to the original recipe with the Pour-over #PSM (Pumpkin Spiced Mule) Cocktail.
See below for how to make this delicious cocktail at home for your next gathering with friends and family (of legal drinking age, of course!)
Cheers!
