Thanksgiving is next week!!! But apparently I've already got jingles and merry on my mind...good thing this yuletide cranberry moscow mule is perfect for both holidays 🦃🎄😎.
It's super easy, super quick, and oh so festive. Who doesn't love a cranberry red cocktail during the holidays??
Step one: pour vodka, lime juice, and cranberry juice into a glass over ice. Pour ginger beer on top.
Step two: garnish.
ALL done! No simple syrup or anything! (I find the ginger beer to be plenty sweet in and of itself but if you need a hint more sweet, add a teaspoon or so of simple syrup).
Literally just 4 ingredients and you've got the perfect cranberry moscow mule cocktail to step up your Thanksgiving and Christmas beverage game. Impress your guests by following the recipe below!
PrintYuletide Cranberry Moscow Mule
- Total Time: 5 minutes
- Yield: 1 1x
Description
A festive holiday twist on the classic mule with just four ingredients; cranberry juice, limes, ginger beer, and vodka. Perfect for both a Thanksgiving and Christmas cocktail!
Ingredients
- 1 ½ to 2 ounces vodka (depending on how strong you like it!)
- 1 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice
- 3 ounces cranberry juice (I use 100% unsweetened cranberry juice)*
- 3-4 ounces ginger beer
- Fresh rosemary, lime slices, cranberries for garnish
Instructions
- Pour vodka, lime juice, and cranberry juice into a glass halfway full with crushed ice. Top with ginger beer.
- Garnish with fresh rosemary, lime slices, and cranberries as desired. Enjoy!
Notes
I find the ginger beer to be sweet enough that using cranberry juice cocktail isn't necessary for this beverage. However, if you're taste buds need a little more sugar, feel free to use it instead or add a teaspoon or so of simple syrup!
