Christmas Cranberry Mules

Happy 1st Day of December!!

This means we can all officially start decking the halls… or, at least I know I will be! Tomorrow will be a jam packed day, full of decorating, baking, Christmas tunes and hunting for the perfect tree!

In honour of Friday and the beginning of the Christmas season my blogger buddy, Ainslie at Lemon Be Coco, and I, decided to collaborate put together a cute (and super delish) Christmas cocktail shoot for y’all!

We both have a love for Moscow Mules so it was an easy choice when deciding what drink to make, only we opted to throw a Christmas spin on it!

Keep scrollin’ to get the recipe for these festive treats!

Ingredients:

• the juice from 1/2 lime
• 2 ounces of sweetened cranberry juice
• 2 ounces of vodka, we opted for Grey Goose
• 4 ounces of hard ginger beer, my fav is Crabbies but you could use whatever you love!
• 6-8 ice cubes
• a few sprigs of finely chopped mint
• cranberries, lime wedges, and cute little gingerbread men to garnish

Instructions:

• add the ice, vodka, cranberry juice, lime juice, and mint to your cocktail shaker
• shake it all up for about 30 seconds
• add some ice to your mule mugs
• pour the contents from the shaker evenly between the two glasses
• top them both off with your ginger beer of choice
• give it a quick, little stir
• add the lime wedges, cranberries, and gingerbread for garnish
• CHEERS AND ENJOY!
