Moscow Mule Ingredients

Traditionally a Moscow Mule contains three basic components:

• Vodka
• Lime Juice
• Ginger Beer

I love the balance of flavors from these simple ingredients. The tartness from the lime juice goes perfectly with the sweet and spicy ginger beer. Vodka has such a mild flavor too, it's great to pair with bold flavors. The addition of the tart cranberry juice in my Christmas Moscow Mule recipe makes for such a tasty combination.

How to Make a Christmas Moscow Mule

Not only is this Cranberry Christmas Moscow Mule delicious, it's simple to make.

1. First, fill your glass with ice. You can use any large glass you have at home or even use a traditional Moscow Mule Mug for some added flare!
2. Next, add in your vodka, cranberry juice and lime juice.
3. Last, top with your ginger beer, stir it gently and garnish with fresh cranberries and a slice of lime if you like!
