Cranberry Moscow Mules

Wednesday, November 6, 2019
Cranberry Moscow Mules are an absolute delicious easy cocktail recipe for Thanksgiving and Christmas. The addition of sage give a nice earthiness to the Moscow Mules. If you aren't big on sage, rosemary would also be delicious, or you can omit it all together.


This years signature holiday cocktail in our house is Cranberry Moscow Mules with Sage.

Colt and I set out last weekend to develop a fun cocktail for the holidays. We started with our beloved Moscow Mule and added a dark ruby red unfiltered naturally sweetened cranberry juice for it's gorgeous color. Filtered cranberry juice will work equally as well but the color will be a little bit lighter once it's mixed with the ginger beer and ice.

Colt then smacked the sage to release the aromatic earthy oils and floated them on top of the Cranberry Moscow Mules. With every sip of Cranberry Sage Moscow Mule you catch the aroma of the sage, and a small taste of the earthy undertones without being over powering to the drink.

Rosemary would make a delicious alternative to sage, or the sage can be omitted all together.

For a more intense flavor you can stir the sage into the cocktail once it's served. It really is quite delicious either way. If your taste buds aren't fond of sage, rosemary or thyme would make an equally delicious combination.

Cranberry Sage Moscow Mules make a wonderful accompaniment to the turkey and stuffing for Thanksgiving but  easily carry through to Christmas with it's festive ruby red color and green sage leaves.

Here's how to make Cranberry Moscow Mules:
