Holiday Cranberry Mule Recipe:
The cranberry Moscow mule has an elusive origin, but it’s quickly gaining popularity. The classic Moscow mule has a long history, with various stories surrounding its creation. One tale suggests that in the 1940s, vendors struggling to sell vodka, ginger beer, and copper mugs came together to concoct a bold and flavorful drink. They named it the Moscow Mule, symbolizing vodka’s association with Russia and the ginger beer’s fiery kick. Some argue that this cocktail played a significant role in vodka’s rise to prominence in the US after Prohibition.
When it comes to cranberries, it’s unclear who first introduced their tangy flavor to the mule. Yet, the tartness of cranberries complements the intense bite of ginger beer, resulting in a delightful twist on the original concoction.
The cranberry Moscow mule is a deliciously unique blend of flavors that come together harmoniously to create an unforgettable cocktail. Whether you’re making one for yourself or a whole batch for a party, this holiday drink is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.
This is the perfect cocktail recipe for get-togethers throughout the months of November and December.
