I cannot believe Christmas Eve is tomorrow! If you’re looking for a pretty cocktail to celebrate with, this is the perfect option and basically screams Christmas. If you’ve never heard of a Moscow Mule before, its a vodka drink made with Ginger Beer (non-alcoholic) and lime juice and is one of my all-time favorite cocktails. Next time you’re at the bar just look for the copper mugs – that’s a Moscow Mule.
I added cranberry juice to make this more Holiday-esque and garnished them with sugared cranberries .The cranberries alone will impress your guests when you hand them one of these sweet and tart cocktails. Enjoy!
