The cranberry Moscow mule has orange, lime and cranberry flavors that combine perfectly with the ginger beer to create an extra spicy and festive drink.

This cranberry Moscow mule is also great for those who don’t like alcohol, as it can be made into a mocktail by omitting the vodka and replacing it with more ginger beer.
In a cocktail shaker, combine the vodka, cranberry juice and lime juice. Shake well to combine the flavors. In a copper mug, add the ice and pour the cranberry mixture over the ice. Top with the ginger beer and garnish with a lime wedge, a fresh cranberry, and rosemary (or a sprig of rosemary) for a festive touch.

If you don’t have a cocktail shaker, a mason jar or a shaker will work just fine. You can even use a glass, but the drinks will taste a little more watery and won’t have the same texture as a shaken cocktail. You can also use any type of vodka you like, though I recommend using a high-quality vodka for the best flavor. If you don’t have any cranberry juice cocktail on hand, you can substitute it with any other fruity or citrus-based juice, such as grapefruit, orange, apple, or pineapple. Alternatively, you can add more lime juice for a tangier drink or even use club soda to replace the ginger beer for a non-alcoholic option. Just remember that swapping the ginger beer for club soda will take away some of the signature spice of a Moscow mule and make it sweeter.
