Stoli Goes Ginger

Stoli draws on their 80+ years of vodka-making to bring us Stoli Ginger Beer. The flavors of Stoli Ginger Beer have been specifically designed to blend perfectly with Stoli vodka.

Ginger Beer also happens to be a growing category, as anyone who has enjoyed a Dark & Stormy can attest. Please note that the Stoli Ginger Beer is non-alcoholic.

One of the things that distinguishes ginger beer from ginger ale is that the beer tends to have more of a ginger “bite.” But Stoli seems to have found the right balance: Stoli Ginger Beer is somewhere between a beer and an ale — it’s got a little bit of ginger-y fire, but it’s also got a pronounced lemon-limey sweetness (Stoli uses pure cane sugar and real ginger extract in the recipe). Sure enough, that makes it more of a mixing ginger beer than a standalone one, though we wouldn’t object to drinking a Stoli ginger beer on its own on a hot summer’s day. It’s almost like a sparkling lemonade with a boost of ginger flavor.

The Moscow Mule is best served in a traditional copper mug. The recipe can be sized for a single serving or a pitcher.

Here's the recipe:
2 parts Stoli Vodka
1/2 part Lime juice
3 parts Stoli Ginger Beer
