Ingredients
Liquids
- 4 ounces ginger beer
- 4 ounces cranberry juice cocktail
- 2 ounces dark rum or vodka
Fresh Produce
- 1 lime (cut in half)
- Fresh or frozen cranberries (for garnish)
Others
- Crushed ice cubes (about 1 cup)
Instructions
- Prepare the mug: Place 1 cup of crushed ice into a copper mug to chill the drink and keep it refreshing.
- Mix the ingredients: In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine the ginger beer, cranberry juice cocktail, dark rum or vodka, and the juice of half a lime. This will help blend the flavors while keeping the mixture cold.
- Combine gently: Stir or gently shake the cocktail shaker to mix the ingredients without losing the carbonation from the ginger beer.
- Serve: Pour the mixed cocktail into the prepared copper mug over the crushed ice.
- Garnish and enjoy: Top the drink with fresh or frozen cranberries and garnish with a lime wheel. Serve immediately for the best taste.
Notes
- Use freshly squeezed lime juice for the best flavor.
- Dark rum adds a richer flavor, but vodka works well for a cleaner taste.
- If you prefer a less sweet drink, opt for unsweetened cranberry juice.
- Serve in a copper mug to enhance the traditional Moscow Mule experience.
- Adjust the amount of ginger beer to taste if you prefer a stronger or lighter ginger flavor.
