Classic Cranberry Moscow Mule
Report
This Cranberry Moscow Mule is a lovely Christmas sipper. Also known as a Yule Mule, this twist on the classic cocktail highlights cranberry juice! Makes 1 drink, but can easily be made into a pitcher.

Ingredients
- 2 oz. unsweetened cranberry juice do NOT use cranberry cocktail
- 1 ½ oz. vodka
- 1 oz. simple syrup
- ½ oz. freshly squeezed lime juice
- 3 oz. ginger beer
- rosemary for garnish
- cranberries fresh or frozen, for garnish
- lime wedge for garnish
Instructions
- In a copper mug (or another glass that you’ll serve this drink in) filled with ice, measure out the unsweetened cranberry juice, vodka, simple syrup and lime juice.
- Top with ginger beer.
- Stir the ingredients with a cocktail spoon until combined.
- Enjoy immediately with a wedge of lime, a handful of cranberries and a sprig of rosemary for garnish.
Notes
- The beauty of this Cranberry Moscow Mule is in the balance. Please use unsweetened cranberry juice, not cranberry cocktail, because that will throw off the balance and make this drink a lot sweeter than it was intended to be. The spice of the ginger compliments the tartness of the cranberries, and using a sweeter juice will throw that off.
- Combine the following in a pitcher, stir and serve immediately:
- 12 oz. unsweetened cranberry juice
- 9 oz. vodka
- 6 oz. simple syrup
- 3 oz. lime juice
- 18 oz. ginger beer
- One to two hours before the party, squeeze the limes. I don’t recommend using jarred lime juice, as it’s not nearly as fresh-tasting and sometimes veers toward bitterness.
- Quarter your limes in advance, too, for the garnish. Keep ‘em in a food storage container in the fridge for up to a few days before your gathering.
- Mix the drinks as guests want to sip them because the ginger beer will go flat.
- If you want to prep this drink in advance, squeeze the limes, make the simple syrup, measure the cranberry juice and the vodka. Keep them in individual glasses/jars, and print out the instructions for this drink so guests can mix their own!
