To make this Christmas mule, you will need a few key ingredients that are easily available at any grocery store. Ginger beer is the star of this drink, providing a spicy and refreshing kick. You will also need vodka, which is the base of the cocktail. For a festive twist, we will be using cranberry juice and lime juice, adding a pop of color and tangy flavor to the drink. To give the drink a holiday feel, we will be using fresh cranberries and rosemary sprigs as garnish. And to make the simple syrup, you will need water, sugar, cinnamon sticks, and cloves.
In a small saucepan, combine water, sugar, cinnamon sticks, and cloves. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally until the sugar has dissolved. Let it cool before straining out the spices.
In a small bowl, mix together some cranberries and rosemary sprigs with a small amount of the simple syrup. Set aside for later use.
In a copper mug or glass, add ice, vodka, cranberry juice, lime juice, and 1 tablespoon of the prepared simple syrup. Top it off with ginger beer and stir gently.
Garnish the drink with the prepared cranberry and rosemary mixture. You can also add a slice of lime for extra flavor. Serve and enjoy your delicious Christmas mule!
This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled to serve a larger crowd. You can also make a non-alcoholic version by omitting the vodka and adding more ginger beer. With its beautiful presentation and festive flavors, the Christmas mule is the perfect drink to get you into the holiday spirit. Cheers to a merry and bright Christmas with friends and family!
