The Very Merry Mule ~ Holiday Cocktail Corner

Find me on INSTAGRAM @MonicaHart1

I have SO been mulling over  the perfect Moscow Mule  holiday COCKTAIL concoction!

I came up with this:

The very Merry Mule! 

Just take a gander  at the mouthwatering drink ingredients:

Fresh ginger & ginger ale, organic cranberries soaked in

freshly squeezed citrus juice ~ holiday Satsumas to be exact! Love that

the little leaves are still attached!

{Metropolitan Market}

Satsumas just say holidays  to me! Anyway, the berries are then rolled in

my vanilla bean sugar! YUM!

Next comes my homemade rosemary simple syrup.

It’s just – 1 to 1 parts water to sugar and one rosemary stem. Simmer on the stovetop, strain & chill.

Add cranberry juice and vodka because well, I’m

a vodka gal. Muddle it all up in a shaker, strain and pour over ice 

in these gorgeous  Moscow Mule solid copper mugs from West Elm!

{You can add your monogram!}

Love how the mugs play off of our hammered copper bar table.

Garnish the Very Merry Mule  with a thin strand of fresh Satsuma peel, a fragrant stem of

rosemary just plucked from our kitchen garden {check out the winter BLOOM!}

and a plump 

organic cranberry!

You in?

Even created a super quick copper Merry Mule sign!

The Very Merry Mule Recipe ~

In a shaker add:

1.5 shots vodka

1 shot cranberry juice

1 shot ginger ale

1/2 shot rosemary simple syrup

1/2 shot freshly squeezed citrus juice

good teaspoon of freshly chopped ginger

Muddle & strain over ice into a copper cup

Add garnishes

I think a few of these Very Merry Mules will lead to a…

very merry  holiday season indeed!

Cheers,
