Spice up National Vodka Day w/ Powell & Mahoney Mixers

Yes, National Vodka Day is officially here and we will continue to honor this versatile spirit with more cocktail highlights. The wonderful thing about vodka is that it plays very well with just about every flavor. We don’t think we’ve ever had a vodka cocktail where the flavors didn’t make sense, Vodka just goes with everything. Today we show how two of our favorite flavors come together to make for a delicious result. In this post, we are highlighting a cocktail made with Powell & Mahoney’s Old Ballycastle Ginger Mixer and vodka.

The above is a new signature National Vodka Day cocktail, The Ginger Dog, created by master mixologist, Tad Carducci. The exotic blend of spicy ginger and tart grapefruit captivates you with alluring flavor sensations. Check out the recipe for The Ginger Dog below:

1.5 oz. Vodka
