Christmas Moscow Mule Ingredients:

• 4 oz. ginger beer

• Fresh lime wedges or slices for garnish

Directions:

Step 1: To your cold copper mug, add ice, ginger beer, cranberry juice, and vodka.

Step 2: Stir to combine and chill.

Step 3: Spritz with the juice of 1 lime wedge.

Step 4: Garnish with fresh cranberries, a fresh slice of lime or lime wedge, and a sprig of fresh rosemary.

Substitutions:

• You can swap the ginger beer for ginger ale, but it may not have the same classic flavors that you are used to.
• You can definitely swap the cranberry juice in this drink for white cranberry juice, if you prefer.

The Moscow Mule has become one of our favorite cocktails, and we love the fun twist that the addition of cranberry juice makes for this festive drink. Definitely add this festive cranberry Moscow mule to your Christmas list this year!

Tips:

• Skip the vodka for a virgin Moscow Mule. Ginger beer actually does not have alcohol, so you still get all of the delicious flavors without the alcohol.
• You’ll definitely want to save this holiday Moscow Mule recipe. You can print it using the recipe card below!
• We used cranberry juice cocktail. If you use unsweetened cranberry juice, you may want to add a splash of simple syrup for sweetness.
