\u2018Tis the season for all the festive drinks! This Winter Mule is perfect for a holiday party with refreshing and crisp mint, lime and ginger beer. The candy cane garnish is totally optional, but adds a fun and Insta-worthy Christmas touch. Celebrate in style and I promise your guests will be loving them all night long!<\/p>\n

With only five ingredients, this fun winter spin on a traditional Moscow Mule is light and incredibly easy to make. In other words, it\u2019s a nice way to switch things up from heavy holiday comfort foods that might keep you in the kitchen longer than usual this season!<\/p>\n\"christmas\n

High-quality ginger beer is the key to this recipe. It\u2019s lightly spiced and warming, which makes it the perfect compliment to the vodka and lime. I recommend not swapping it for ginger ale, and also using freshly squeezed lime juice and fresh mint; this will take your drinks to the next level. Leaving the mint as a garnish instead of muddling it keeps this recipe low-maintenance while bringing in that refreshing aroma.<\/p>\n\"vodka\n

To turn a Winter Mule into a mocktail, simply swap out the vodka for a plain or lime-flavored sparkling water. You can also leave this ingredient out altogether.<\/p>\n

As for tools and equipment, a cocktail shaker isn’t necessary\u00a0 for this recipe, just a shot glass. For reference, a shot glass is typically 1.5 ounces, and if you don\u2019t have a shot glass, you can also measure 3 tablespoons of liquid.<\/p>\n
