A bright splash of cranberry transforms the classic cocktail into a new holiday favourite with this Cranberry Moscow Mule.
If you enjoy the warm gingery flavor of a traditional Moscow Mule, you will definitely want to give this one a try over the holiday season!
When you make a Moscow Mule, make sure you purchase Ginger Beer and not ginger ale. These are two different things without completely different flavour profiles. It simply won’t be a Moscow Mule if you swap out the Ginger Beer.
