Christmas Mule Cocktail
A festive cocktail featuring vodka and seasonal ingredients, perfect for holiday celebrations.
Equipment
- Copper mug – keeps your drink cold longer and gives it that classic mule vibe.
- Jigger – makes measuring vodka, juices, and syrup a breeze so things stay balanced.
- Bar spoon – lets you stir things up without killing the fizz.
- Citrus juicer – perfect for squeezing fresh lime in seconds.
- Cocktail pick – I use this if I want to add cranberries or a rosemary sprig on top.
- Ice cubes – fill your mug right to the top so it stays nice and cold.
Ingredients
- 2 oz vodka
- 2 oz cranberry juice
- 0.5 oz lime juice
- 3 oz ginger beer
- 0.5 oz simple syrup
Instructions
- Fill your copper mug all the way up with ice cubes.
- Measure out the vodka with a jigger and pour it right over the ice.
- Add the cranberry juice and squeeze in some fresh lime juice.
- Give it a gentle stir with your bar spoon to mix things up.
- Top off with ginger beer or ginger ale, depending on your mood—sharper or sweeter, totally your call.
- Garnish with cranberries, a rosemary sprig, lime wedge, or maybe a cinnamon stick if you’re feeling fancy.
Notes
Adjust sweetness and acidity to taste. Garnish with fresh herbs or citrus for a festive touch.
