    Cranberry Mule

    Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

    This Cranberry Mule is a pretty pink cocktail that's perfect for those winter holidays. It's a littl bit tart and fiery from cranberry juice and ginger beer. Don't forget the vodka. Cheers!

    Cranberry Mule | How to be Awesome on $20 a Day

    By the time this post goes live, it will be 4:00 in the afternoon in the Pacific Northwest where my family lives. I was just there last week, and I'm still feeling the jet lag. We were awake for a solid 32 hours this weekend with only the occasional nod off on the plane. I managed to curl up on the floor of Heathrow airport in a nest of coats and almost sleep for about 20 minutes. When I got up, I had forgotten for a moment what city I was in.

    Anybody who tries to tell you jet lag isn't real is a damn liar. I feel like I should have been given at least two sick days as I attempted to recover. Instead, I worked for 12 hours yesterday and have another 11 hour day to look forward to tomorrow. If my boss ever tries to tell me I'm not dedicated, I might scream. It's a good thing I don't drive or operate heavy machinery because I definitely would have accidentally killed someone this week.

    What makes a Cranberry Mule so awesome?

    The afternoon before Thanksgiving might be the exact perfect time to have a sweet and festive cocktail dropped into your life. This Cranberry Mule will be the perfect start to your Thanksgiving weekend. It's so fun and goes down easy. There's a bit of a bite from the ginger beer, and a tart hint from the cranberry juice. Mix up a pitcher of these, and your family will never notice you gave them cranberry sauce from a jar.

    Incidentally, it's so easy to make your own cranberry sauce, you could probably do it while drinking a Cranberry Mule.

    This drink can easily be scaled up or down. Mix it in parts and make as much or as little as you like. And if you really want to go all out, freeze some cranberries to use in place of some of the ice in your glass. If you happen to have some of those fancy copper mugs, what better time to break them out? I wish I was as cool as that.

    • Author: Renee Rendall
    • Prep Time: 5
    • Total Time: 5 minutes
    • Category: Cocktail
    • Method: Mixed

    Ingredients

    Scale
    • Ice
    • 2 parts vodka
    • 1 part cranberry juice
    • 5 parts ginger beer
    • Lime juice

    Instructions

    1. Add vodka, cranberry juice, and ginger beer to your desired vessel. If you're making this one glass at a time, start out with the ice in the glass. Otherwise, mix up a pitcher and pour the drink over the ice as you serve. Add a squeeze of lime juice to each glass, from an actual lime wedge if you planned ahead, or from the plastic squeezy lime if you're being more spontaneous.

    Notes

    • If you start with all your ingredients well chilled, your drink get as watered down by the ice.
