Ingredients

Cranberry Mule
  • 2 oz. unsweetened cranberry juice do NOT use cranberry cocktail
  • 3 oz. ginger beer
  • 1 ½ oz. spiced rum
  • 1 oz. simple syrup
  • ice for serving
  • sugared cranberries for garnish

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Scoop a handful of ice in a copper mug.
  2. Combine the cranberry juice, ginger beer, rum and simple syrup in a cocktail shaker with ice.
  3. Shake until combined, then pour over ice in the copper mug.
  4. Serve with sugared cranberries as garnish, and enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • If you want to make homemade sugared cranberries, the timeline on this drink will be longer. However, the drink takes less than 5 minute to make.
  • In a large (at least 2 ½ quarts!) glass pitcher, combine the following:
  • Stir with a long cocktail spoon (or a wooden spoon if you don't have a cocktail spoon long enough.) Add ice or frozen cranberries to keep it cool, and serve.
  • This makes 8 servings. If your pitcher is larger, you can certainly make 10-12 servings. Just make sure that you leave enough space to add ice or frozen cranberries at the end to keep it cool!
  • 16 oz. unsweetened cranberry juice (do NOT use cranberry cocktail)
  • 24 oz. ginger beer
  • 12 oz. spiced rum
  • 8 oz. simple syrup
