This is seriously as festive as it gets if you’re a lover of traditional moscow mules. Simply adding a little cranberry juice and fresh cranberries for garnish transforms this into the ultimate vodka holiday cocktail. 
The gingery flavor from the ginger beer is the perfect addition to the sweet and tart cranberry and lime juice. Not only is it a simple cocktail, it’s so pretty with the festive red and green colors from the cranberries, lime and rosemary for garnish… a drink with some bling!
It tastes pretty darn amazing, too. Cheers and happy mixin’!

December 27, 2017 at 6:37 pmWould cranberry flavored vodka be good in this drink? Or would that be too sweet / too much cranberry in the drink?
Amy @ The Blond Cook says
December 28, 2017 at 9:29 amHi, I’ve never used cranberry flavored vodka in this drink, but if you’re a lover of cranberry I’d definitely give it a try. Hope you enjoy and Happy New Year! 🙂

December 6, 2018 at 4:11 pmIs the receipt for non alcoholic ginger beer or alcoholic? Thanks!
Amy @ The Blond Cook says
December 7, 2018 at 9:35 amHey Abby, it can be either/or… sometimes I use non-alcoholic if I can’t find the one with alcohol… but of course you know it will have more “kick” with the ginger beer with alcohol. Hope you enjoy it! 🙂
