Cranberry Moscow Mule

Let the holiday decorations and cheer infuse right into your cocktail with this cranberry version of a Moscow mule. 

I know I already shared a cranberry sangria to make for the holidays but who says you can only have one? For #CranberryWeek I also added a cranberry twist to a Moscow Mule. It really just means I substituted some of the ginger beer for cranberry juice – it’s as simple as that. Garnish with a sprig of rosemary speared through some fresh cranberries as it’s festive AF. You could also garnish them with sugared cranberries!

Need another festive cocktail for the holidays? Try my pomegranate mimosa or a naughty elf cocktail.
