Special Notes

This festive cranberry mule is perfect for holiday celebrations. The combination of tart cranberry juice and spicy ginger beer creates a refreshing cocktail. The fresh cranberries add a beautiful pop of color and burst of flavor. For a non-alcoholic version, simply omit the vodka and increase the cranberry juice. This drink is best served in a copper mug to maintain the traditional mule experience.
