I really love making the holidays feel special, and honestly, mixing up festive drinks is kind of my thing.

I’m always reaching for a Tito’s Cranberry Moscow Mule around the holidays. It’s festive, easy, and just feels right for Christmas.
The base is Tito’s Handmade Vodka—it’s clean and smooth, so it doesn’t overpower the cranberry juice. That tart cranberry gives you a bold red color, which looks awesome in a copper mug.
I go for 100% cranberry juice if I want it tart, but honestly, sweetened works if that’s what you have. A squeeze of fresh lime juice brightens things up and gives a nice citrusy edge.
Then, ginger beer. It’s spicy, fizzy, and just brings it all together. I stir gently—don’t want to lose those bubbles.
For garnish, a handful of fresh cranberries and a sprig of rosemary. The cranberries float, the rosemary smells great, and suddenly it’s a festive drink.
Copper mugs keep things cold and look classic, but a regular glass with ice is totally fine. No need to stress.
