Jump to RecipeMoscow Mules are traditionally served in copper mugs, but any glass will do for this festive version. Begin by filling your glass with ice, then pour in the vodka, cranberry juice, and lime juice. Give it a good stir, and top it off with the ginger beer. The combination of the tart lime and cranberry juices with the spicy ginger beer creates a perfectly balanced flavor profile.
To add a touch of holiday cheer, garnish your Christmas Mule with a few fresh cranberries and a sprig of mint. Not only do they add a pop of color, but they also add a subtle fruity and herbal aroma to the drink. It's the little details that make this cocktail stand out and give it that extra festive touch.
For an extra special touch, you can also rim your glass with crushed candy canes. Simply wet the rim of your glass with a lime wedge and dip it into a shallow dish of crushed candy canes. This will not only add a fun holiday twist to the drink, but it will also give it a hint of sweetness and a bit of crunch.
So there you have it, a delicious and festive Christmas Mule recipe that is sure to impress your guests and make your holiday celebrations even more special. Whether you're hosting a holiday party or just relaxing by the fire, this drink is the perfect way to add some holiday cheer to your day. Cheers to a merry and bright Christmas filled with delicious drinks and good company!
