Equipment

Ingredients
  

For the Drink

  • 1 ounce alcohol alternative such as Seedlip Spice 94
  • 1 ounce cranberry simple syrup
  • 7 dashes non-alcoholic citrus bitters about 1/2 tsp of a brand such as All The Bitter or Dram
  • .5 ounce lime juice
  • 2 ounces cranberry juice unsweetened
  • 4 ounces ginger beer Betty Buzz brand, recommended

For the Garnish

  • fresh whole cranberries for garnish
  • dehydrated lime wheels for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Fill your mule mugs with ice to chill the glasses.
  • Add in 1 ounce of alcohol alternative to your cocktail glass.
  • Juice one lime to get 1/2 ounce of lime juice and add it to the mule mug.
  • Add the cranberry juice to the mule mug.
  • Add in the cranberry simple syrup.
  • Carefully add in 1/2 tsp of bitters (7 dashes or 20 drops)
  • Give your cocktail a stir with a cocktail spoon.
  • Top with ginger beer to fill the glass.
  • Garnish with a few cranberries skewered on a cocktail pick and a dehydrated lime wheel. Serve immediately.

Notes

No cranberry simple syrup - If you don’t have cranberry simple syrup, you can use plain simple syrup.
Rosemary simple syrup - for a Yule Mule style mocktail, use rosemary simple syrup in place of cranberry simple syrup.
No alcohol-alternative - If you don’t have an alcohol alternative like Seedlip, you can simply omit it and add a few extra drops or dashes of bitters.
