Holiday gatherings are in full effect and this festive Cranberry Moscow Mule would be a welcomed cocktail at your next get-together!
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 mixing!

I made the cranberry Moscow Mule for my daughter (28) and I. Both of us enjoyed it. I have had them at a restaurant and I thought that mine tasted just like the restaurants. I will be making them again. Very easy to make also, which I like as well.

Is the receipt for non alcoholic ginger beer or alcoholic? Thanks!
Amy @ The Blond Cook says
Hey 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! 🙂

Would 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
Hi, 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! 🙂
