THE MISTLETOE MULE 🌿🍒
A festive, tavern-style take on the classic buck. This mocktail brings the heat of ginger beer together with the tartness of winter cranberries and the resinous aroma of fresh rosemary. It’s a bold, tongue-tingling refresher that looks as celebratory as it tastes.

* Fill the glass to the brim with crushed or cubed ice.
* Top with the spicy ginger beer, pouring slowly to maintain the fizz.

CHEF TIPS:
The Ginger Beer: For a true "tavern" feel, look for the spiciest ginger beer you can find—one that leaves a pleasant burn in the throat.
The Cranberry: Using unsweetened (100% pure) cranberry juice allows you to control the sweetness and provides that deep, festive red color.
The Mug: Using a copper mug isn't just for looks; it keeps the drink exceptionally cold, which helps the carbonation stay sharp.
Serve immediately. Enjoy The Mistletoe Mule responsibly 🌿🍒
