Notes
- The recipe calls for a Moscow mule glass, also known as a copper mug. A copper mug is recommended because copper is a good thermal conductor and it is said to intensify the fizziness of the drink. Therefore, the copper mug will keep your drink cold and enhance the flavors of the ginger beer and lime.
- Copper is immune to rust, but it is recommended to still wash your copper mug properly: with a soft sponge and warm, soapy water. Dry the mugs thoroughly.
- You can make an entire pitcher of this holiday drink by dragging the servings bar to desired number of servings.
- The ingredients are built into the glass because of the use of fizzy, so make sure you don't use a cocktail shaker with this drink. If you really want to use a shaker, only add the vodka, cranberry and lime. Strain into the mug and top up with the ginger beer afterwards.
