NEW VIDEO!! Happy Thirsty Thursday guys!!
The fall cocktail season is officially upon us- get ready for all manner of naughty and delicious cocktails coming your way and definitely let me know if there is something you would like to see.
I love a great gingery Moscow Mule, and this version is updated for Autumn with sparkling apple cider and a generous splash of cranberry.
I mean, the whole ginger-apple-cranberry flavor combo is so good and quintessential seasonal flavors.
I could see making these on Halloween or on Thanksgiving or for tailgating or even just tonight, because its a #ThirstyThursday!!
Why ever you decide to make these, you have gotta do it! Super fun and easy cocktail and all of your friends will love these!

Have you drank your Moscow Mules in copper mugs made in Montana? The copper & ice combination keeps your drink cold the entire time you drink your drink. It’s a win win combo!
Hi Nadine- I have been dying to get some of those copper cups- I’ll have to do it!
Fantastic beverage for fall! Sounds delicious 🙂
thank you so much! Glad you like it!
Your cocktails always blow me away and this is no exception. Gorgeous!
ginger and cranberry combo has me dreaming of Thanksgiving already! such a fabulous drink!
Great take on the mule! (but please learn the rules of capitalization!)
Or maybe you will also comment on my post. “learn how to spell.” Just keep it positive…..people make mistakes ; )
Oops..I.must also learn.to spell. ; )
….and a very Happy Thanksgiving to you Lilian! Maybe next time you can leave it at “great take on the mule!”
I agree! Lilian should have kept her criticism to herself!
Hello, this cocktail looks amazing and I would like to serve it tonight for dinner… how do I modify the recipe to serve more than 2 people?
Is that cranberry juice cocktail or pure cranberry juice?
cranberry juice cocktail. But my husband who doesn’t like the sweet drinks makes it with pure cranberry juice.
Hello, wondering if you can tell me where you got the glasses used in this recipe, they are beautiful!
Thank you
Hi! Just gotta saw how much we are enjoying these this season. We are kind of new to the Moscow Mule rage, and your version is delish! We had a party the other night, with several holiday beverage choices and everyone wanted this! Anyway…thanks for sharing!
Great recipe Heather…interesting you use 2 juices. Would be curious to try it with just cranberry juice and not the apple/cran combo. We’ll put this on our R&D list. 🙂
Can’t wait to serve this at our Holiday party this weekend! Looks and sounds delish!
Oh good Becca! thank you!
I don’t drink alcohol so have never tried one of these, but this version sounds especially wonderful. Can it be made without the vodka and ginger beer and if so what would you replace those with, if anything ? Thanks
Hi Jenn! So Ginger beer does not have alcohol if you would like to try it? it’s like root beer, but with a very fresh ginger flavor. Other wise you could try gingerale, sparkling apple cider and a splash of cranberry!
Give me a few. I could use it 🙂 Your video is awesome! I need to do something like this! I love it!
Thanks Averie!!
These are BEAUTIFUL!! You truly have a gift 🙂
Hi Heather! If I wanted to make this for a large party, should I just multiple it by how many servings I need, or do you have a large-recipe? Thanks!
Just multiply it!! Have fun!
How many ounces/cups size glass did you use?
Hi Heather -trying to make this as a big batch cocktail in a beverage container- how do you think this would work?
SHould be easy Colleen and keep for a few days! But don’t add the fruit until the end!
Hi! I am always in charge of the signature house cocktail (I have no idea why…maybe bc it’s currently 2pm on Sunday and I just made my second mimosa … at any rate, if I do a large batch of this and keep it in a sealed yeti (gallon) would it hold its fizz or maybe add ginger beer when the drink is prepped in glass?? Thoughts??
Hi Justin! I like your style and you are spot on. You won’t want to add the ginger beer until the end or it will be flat!
