How to make Cranberry Moscow Mules:
**scroll down for full printable directions and ingredients list, as well as a step by step video**
- Gather the ingredients, having everything together makes preparing the cranberry Moscow mules much easier.
- Get out some fun copper mugs! Sure, you can make Moscow mules without the copper mug, but having it is part of the fun!
- Add vodka, cranberry ginger ale (or regular works too), lime juice, and fresh cranberries. Mix together and serve!
Can I make a different flavor Moscow Mules?
YES! Switch up the play on cranberry Moscow mules and use blueberries, strawberries, oranges, kiwi…the options are endless!
Can I make Cranberry Moscow Mules ahead of time?
YES! Go ahead and make everything, but do not add the soda until it’s right before serving time. The vodka, berries, and lime juice can all hang out in a pitcher together, then just add the soda right before serving.
