Notes
- *Since the sweetness of this cocktail can vary by brand of ginger beer, I recommend using unsweetened pure cranberry juice, as opposed to cranberry juice cocktail. If you find that the cocktail is too tart, sweeten to taste with simple syrup (1:1 ratio of granulated sugar dissolved in hot water and cooled), added in 1/2 teaspoon increments. To read more, see the "juice vs cocktail" section in the article above.
- For instructions on batching and serving the cocktail for a party, or making this Cranberry Moscow Mule a mocktail, reference the FAQ's section above.
