Ingredients
For the Cocktail
- 1 cup freshly squeezed lime juice

- 1 cup cranberry juice
- 4 cups ice cubes
- 3 cups vodka
For Garnishing
- Fresh or frozen whole cranberries as needed

- Lime rounds or slices as needed
For Serving
- Additional ice cubes optional
Instructions
- Place the 4 cups of ice in a large pitcher. Pour in the ginger beer, vodka, cranberry juice, and freshly squeezed lime juice.
- Stir thoroughly until the liquids are evenly blended and the mixture has become lightly chilled.
- If desired, add fresh ice to individual copper mugs.
- Pour the prepared cranberry Moscow Mule mixture from the pitcher over the ice, distributing it among the mugs for serving.
- Decorate each drink, if desired, with a rosemary sprig, a slice of lime, and several whole cranberries.
- Serve the cocktails immediately while cold and freshly mixed.
Notes
Fever-Tree ginger beer may be used when a stronger, spicier ginger flavor is preferred.
Copper mugs are especially suitable for serving Moscow Mules because they help the cocktail remain pleasantly chilled.
