Make Your Spirits Bright With This Holiday Moscow Mule Recipe Featuring Fresh Cranberries

A Moscow mule is such a classic cocktail, but when you add cranberries — a beloved and popular holiday fruit — it creates a truly delicious, refreshing, and festive cocktail. Also known as the holiday Moscow mule, you just combine the classic ingredients of the cocktail — vodka, lime juice, and ginger beer — with cranberry juice cocktail. Top it with fresh cranberries and rosemary, and the end result is just as pretty as it is delicious.

I used four ounces of vodka (about two shots worth) and the same amount of cranberry juice, but feel free to experiment and make yours a little boozier if you prefer! If you do, I recommend that you use equal parts cranberry juice and about twice as much ginger beer to keep that impeccable flavour balance. So, if you're looking for a way to get into the holiday spirit, give this recipe a try for a sweet, subtly tart spin on the Moscow mule.
