We’re over the snow, tired of layers, and the only ice we want to see for a while is the stuff in our cocktails. Stoli Vodka is toasting to the end of winter – and the arrival of warm weather – with its two delicious new spring cocktails: the Stoli “Beer” Mule and the Stoli Cucumber Coupe. With ginger-honey syrup and crisp Pilsner beer, the Stoli “Beer” Mule is a flavorful twist on the classic warm-weather cocktail. Bright and bold, citrusy and refreshing – one sip of the new Spring Cocktail will have you dreaming of sunnier days.
