Cranberry Moscow Mule Ingredients

  • 3 oz. premium vodka
  • 1 oz. 100% cranberry juice
  • 1 T. fresh lime juice
  • 8 oz. ginger beer

Garnish for a Cranberry Moscow Mule

  • fresh rosemary sprigs, bottom leaves removed, approximately 2-3” long
  • fresh cranberries
  • fresh lime wedges

How to Make the Garnish:

Take your fresh rosemary sprigs and cut them into lengths of about 2″ to 3″. Be sure to remove the bottom leaves. With your sturdiest stems, carefully thread three fresh cranberries to the bottom. Set aside as you make the drink.

Cranberry Moscow Mule Recipe:

Fill your special copper mugs with ice. Next grab your cocktail shaker and fill it with ice. Over that add your vodka, cranberry juice, and lime juice and give it a good shake. Pour the mixture into your copper mugs and then top off with ginger beer. Give it a gentle stir to combine all of the ingredients.

Next top off the mugs with your cranberry rosemary sprigs and lime wedges, if you are so inclined. Serve immediately.
