Cranberry Moscow Mule

The Cranberry Moscow Mule blends ginger beer and cranberry juice with dark rum or vodka to create a fizzy, tart cocktail served over crushed ice. The drink is garnished with fresh or frozen cranberries and a lime wheel, offering a refreshing mix of bright citrus and slightly spicy ginger flavors. It’s designed to be stirred gently to preserve the ginger beer's carbonation. This cocktail works well as a festive, cold beverage suited to casual or celebratory occasions.
