Cranberry Moscow Mule – Holiday Version
What I love most about this tasty recipe is that it’s packed full of vodka and ginger beer. There’s something about those two that go so well together, time and time again. And when you pair it up with cranberry juice and fresh lime, it’s certain to be a winner.
Why is it called the Moscow Mule?
This name comes from two totally different things. The Moscow portion comes from Russia since they like vodka and the mule portion of this drink comes from the fact that it has a “kick”, often like one that a mule would do.
Do you have to use copper mugs for Moscow Mules?
While it’s not a legit rule, it’s the perfect type of mug that works best. It also is a pretty big indicator to others what you’re drinking if they see you sipping out of a copper mug.
And copper is so pretty, especially if you are sharing a picture.
