| Yield: | 4 mules |
Ingredients
- 1 heaping tablespoon dried cranberries, for garnish
- 2 ounces simple syrup, plus more for soaking the cranberries
- 6 ounces vodka
- 4 ounces orange juice
- 4 ounces unfiltered cranberry juice
- 4 ounces ginger beer
Instructions
- Put the dried cranberries in a small bowl and add enough simple syrup to cover. Let soak until slightly softened, about 1 hour. Meanwhile, chill 4 copper mule mugs in the freezer.
- For each drink, combine 1 1/2 ounces vodka, 1 ounce each orange juice and cranberry juice and 1/2 ounce simple syrup in a cocktail shaker filled with large ice cubes and shake vigorously. Add 1 ounce ginger beer, seal the shaker again and gently twist the shaker back and forth once (this will combine the drink without making the ginger beer go flat). Strain into a chilled copper mule mug and fill with fresh ice. Garnish with a few of the soaked cranberries.

Reviews
This was a huge hit at Thanksgiving last year, and is now staple in our holiday/autumn rotation!! We use the cranberry sauce we make for Thanksgiving in place of the dried cranberries. 🙂
Perfect at Thanksgiving and Christmas this year.
