Vanilla #PSM (Pumpkin Spiced Mule)

As we are now well and truly in the holiday season I have noticed a lot of bars with variations of seasonal Moscow Mules on their menus, and so I wanted to make one I thought would be great for the holidays. Pumpkin spice really can’t be avoided during the holidays, so I am partnering with Smirnoff to embrace it and take it to the next level with a delicious Moscow Mule variation featuring Smirnoff Vanilla and pumpkin spice syrup! It was so easy to put together and I bet your local bartender could even make it. If they can’t, then check out the recipe below for you to make it at your next gathering.

Recipe:

• ¾ ounce Smirnoff No. 21 vodka
• ¾ ounce Smirnoff Vanilla
• ¾ ounce pumpkin spice syrup (pumpkin pie spice, sugar & water)
• Top with ginger beer

Method:

Pumpkin Spice Syrup:

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup water

1. Mix pumpkin pie spice with sugar and water in a small saucepan
2. Bring to boil
3. Remove from heat and stir until sugar granules dissolve

Smirnoff Vanilla #PSM:

1. Combine Smirnoff No. 21 vodka, Smirnoff Vanilla and pumpkin spice syrup in a cocktail shaker with ice
2. Shake to chill and combine ingredients

I don’t think you’ll find a better tasting cocktail around, enjoy!
