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!
