HOLIDAY COCKTAIL: CRANBERRY MULE

‘Tis the season, friends. It’s December, the official start to the holiday season. And if you’re like me – when it comes to the holidays, I just can’t help myself. Crank up the Mariah, throw greenery everywhere, and deck the halls. Any chance I have to add a festive touch, I’ll take it. Naturally, I used this same approach for making this holiday cocktail. There’s nothing better than taking a classic drink and putting a little holiday spin on it. Case in point: the holiday Cranberry Mule. Keep reading for the recipe!

DIRECTIONS
