Cranberry Moscow Mule Recipe
Description
This recipe combines vodka with 100% cranberry juice, which introduces a sharp tartness that mimics the citrus element traditional to Moscow Mules. The drink is topped with ginger beer, adding spice and effervescence, creating a lively, flavorful beverage. Fresh cranberries, lime wedges, and mint leaves garnish the drink, enhancing aroma and visual appeal.
The method is straightforward: pour vodka and cranberry juice over ice, top with ginger beer, and gently stir. The use of pure cranberry juice gives a more pronounced tartness compared to cranberry cocktail, which usually contains added sugars. For those preferring a sweeter profile, adding lime juice when using cranberry cocktail is recommended.
Serving immediately after preparation ensures the drink remains cold and fizzy. The combination of flavors balances the sweetness of the ginger beer with the tartness of cranberry and a fresh citrus note from the lime garnish.
Ingredients
- 2 ounces vodka
- 1 ounce cranberry juice see notes
- 4 ounces ginger beer
- cranberries to serve, lime wedges
- lime
- mint
Instructions
- Fill a glass with ice and then add the vodka and cranberry juice. Top with some ginger beer and then give your mule a quick stir.

Notes
- Use 100% cranberry juice for proper tartness that substitutes traditional lime juice in the mule.
- If using cranberry cocktail instead, add lime juice to balance the sweetness.
