This is such a fun refreshing drink! And beautiful too! I love to serve it up on the holidays, because the colors are so bright and beautiful, and the flavors match. A mix of Ginger-Ale, Cranberry, and Lime. This lovely drink leaves your taste buds dancing! It’s delicious!
So, traditionally a Moscow Mule is made up from 3 essential ingredients, and then you can add an herb or flavoring to change what type of Moscow Mule it is. Ie; Lavendar Moscow Mule, Raspberry Moscow Mule, Cranberry Moscow Mule, ect…
The Traditional Moscow Mule uses Vodka, Ginger Beer, and Lime.
However, this is a Moscow Mule “Mocktail”. Meaning alcohol free. So we’re gonna nix the Vodka. I also nix the ginger beer (insert laughing emoticon here! Haha!), and use Gingerale in it’s place. You don’t need to do this, you can totally use ginger beer. Ginger beer has a VERY strong flavor to it though. Like really really strong. So if you are using ginger beer in this recipe, be sure to dilute it with club soda.
By the way! Look how cute these cups are! Aren’t you in love? I found them at our local hardware store. How great is that?! I went in there for wood and came out with bronze cups and ideas for a Holiday Moscow Mule Mocktail. Oh happy day!
So how do we make this lovely drink?
- Get a good cup! Haha. Don’t worry I’ve got ya covered; because you probably have no idea if your local hardware store carries cool mugs like mine, I found you a really cool set.
- Ice. Ice is always needed in a good drink recipe.
- Next, One part Cranberry Juice and Lime, Two parts Gingerale.
- Now garnish with cranberries and a lime wedge.
- Finally, Enjoy!
I mean how easy is that?! And it really is so good!!!
*A Quick Tip: To get the maximum amount of juice from your limes; Before cutting- rub them back and forth on your counter top, applying pressure with your palm a couple times. This releases the juices and helps you get more juice with each squeeze.
