Here’s how this fresh, crisp Cranberry Moscow Mule comes together:
What do I need to make a Moscow Mule?
The ingredients you’ll need to make a classic Moscow mule are vodka, ginger beer, and fresh lime juice. For this cranberry version, we will also use cranberry juice.
Here’s a quick-reference shopping list of the ingredients you’ll need to make this Christmas Moscow mule:
- Good quality vokda, like Tito’s
- Ginger beer – I like Crabbie’s
- Fresh limes for lime juice – plan for 1 lime for every mule you are expecting to make.
- Cranberry juice
- Garnish items: fresh cranberries, rosemary sprigs and lime slices

Is there alcohol in ginger beer?
For many ginger beer’s there is little to no alcohol. Be sure to read your labels – for this ginger beer I’m using, there is alcohol. Most ginger beers contain less than .5% alcohol, and carbonated, not fermented, therefore classifying them as a non-alcoholic drink. Again, read your labels.
What vodka is best in a Moscow mule?
Purchase the best quality vodka you can afford to make your Moscow mules. I like and prefer Tito’s or Kettle One vodka.
Why does a Moscow mule have to be in a copper cup?
Copper is a good thermal conductor, therefore making it a good vessel to serve a cold cocktail. Copper mugs will keep the drink icy cold and prevent the ice from melting and watering down your Cranberry Moscow mule.
Is Moscow Mule a girly drink?
Nope! Moscow Mules are a classic cocktail enjoyed by everyone. If you’re looking for a cold, icy cocktail with a hint of lime and cranberry flavor, this libation is perfect for you – ladies or gents!
How do you garnish a Moscow Mule?
Traditionally, a Moscow mule is garnished with a lime slice on the edge of the copper mug. For this Cranberry Moscow mule, I’ve added fresh cranberries along with the lime slices and fragrant sprigs of rosemary. It adds a wonderful holiday vibe to this mule recipe.
