With Thanksgiving only a week (that’s right, 1 WEEK!) away, I’ve got my mind on turkey, stuffing, and cranberries. Oh, and celebratory I’m home in Chicago cocktails with my parents! Since turkey and stuffing don’t lend themselves very well to a cocktail, I stuck with the cranberries.

My Degustabox (box filled with an assortment of awesome groceries – try it for only $10 with the link below!) this month came with two cans of Bruce Cost Ginger Beer and I knew immediately that I would be whipping up a batch of mules. Moscow mules are a classic cocktail that have become incredibly trendy in the last few years. A great mix of sweet and spicy – there’s a little something for everyone.

You start by shaking together some cranberry juice, lime juice, and vodka in a cocktail shaker. Then, fill a glass with ice, pour in your shaken mixture, and slowly top it with the spicy ginger beer to give it a pretty ombre look. A few cranberries on a skewer for the top, and we are ready for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or a random Thursday night!
