There are lots of fun ways to play with mule cocktails; try this Irish mule or the classic Moscow mule. A traditional mule cocktail consists of ginger beer, fresh lime juice, and a spirit like vodka. To make a cranberry mule you will use similar ingredients:

Vodka: A clean, crisp vodka is best for this recipe. Pick your favorite brand and add 1 ounce. Cranberry juice: Using 100% cranberry juice (opposed to a cranberry cocktail) will give you the most tart-cranberry flavor. If you choose to use a cranberry cocktail instead, you will need to add some lime juice to get the acidity right for this cocktail. Ginger beer: Sold in most grocery stores, ginger beer is a spicy, ginger-forward soda. It doesn’t typically have alcohol in it, despite its name, but it’s worth checking. Optional garnishes: For a truly festive appearance add garnishes like fresh cranberries, mint leaves, and lime wedges. The red and green color combo, will be right on theme!
