Who is ready for a cocktail? This Christmas Cocktail recipe, known as a Merry Mule, is the perfect holiday drink! It’s a holiday take on the Moscow Mule which is a favorite in our home.

The best part, there are so many ways to make this. Here is the basic recipe to start:

Let’s get mixing!

Start with the vodka and cranberry juice. Bonus if you can find Cranberry Vodka- Deep Eddys makes a great one! Add ginger beer (we like Fever Tree) and mix, top with juice of a lime and serve over crushed ice. Don’t forget the garnish! Take a rosemary sprig and add cranberries for an easy Christmas touch. These can be made in advance.

Here’s a few ways you can change the Merry Mule Christmas Cocktail recipe up:

*Add lime sparking water for a low calorie version

*Place Candied Crystallized Ginger in the glass or on the garnish if you want a spicy kick, and a different flavor for your mule. The longer the ginger sits, the spicier the drink gets.
