For Pride month, Smirnoff has created six global cocktails inspired by the international LGBTQIA+ community. These are easy to make and delicious enough to whip up for any Pride celebration (and are sure to be a hit).
In support of inclusivity, The Rum Howler will be sharing these cocktails (and maybe one of his own creation) throughout the month of June.
Here is my third share, The Prideful Mule!
The Prideful Mule (from the United States)
1.5 oz. Smirnoff No. 21 Vodka
4 oz. Ginger Beer
A Squeeze of Fresh Lime
Ice
1 Lime Wedge Garnish
Pour the Vodka and a Squeeze of Lime into a Metal Shaker with Ice
Shake until the sides of the metal shaker frosts
Strain into a chilled ice-filled Copper Mug
Complete to taste with Ginger Beer
Garnish with a Lime Wedge.
Enjoy Responsibly!

Note: Smirnoff “Love Wins” bottles were launched in June 2017 and feature an iridescent rainbow aesthetic and photographs of real couples and real love. For every bottle made, Smirnoff has pledged to donate $1 to HRC totaling nearly $1.5 million by 2021. These bottles are available for retail purchase nationally. The NEW Smirnoff “Welcome” bottles are launching for Pride 2019 and are meant to support the brand’s “Welcome Home” campaign, welcoming the global LGBTQIA+ community to New York for Pride. There are six versions of this bottle, and on each one the iconic Smirnoff label is replaced with “Welcome” spelled out in a different language – English, Spanish, French, Italian, Russian and Mandarin – to honor the LGBTQIA+ community globally. While these bottles are not available for retail purchase, they are being created in limited quantities to spread messages of inclusivity and diversity and will be available at Smirnoff’s Pride events.
