Christmas Mule Cocktail Recipe

If you and your sister find yourselves laughing at absolutely nothing during holiday gatherings… while everyone else slowly rolls their eyes — this drink is for you.

You know the moment.
The kitchen is too warm.
Someone burned the rolls.
Your mom is stress-cleaning.
And somehow, everything is hilarious.

This is where the Christmas Mule recipe comes in.

It’s festive.
It’s refreshing.
It smells like Christmas without tasting like a pine tree.
And it gives you something to sip while you lean against the counter pretending you’re being helpful.

My Favorite Christmas Cocktail: The Christmas Mule

You’ll need:

• 2 oz vodka (permission to double this)

• 4–6 oz ginger beer (I love Gossling’s Ginger Beer)

• Splash of cranberry juice (just enough for color and cheer)

• Fresh limes

• Fresh rosemary sprig

• Ice

How to make it:

1. Fill a copper mug or glass with ice.

2. Pour in vodka.

3. Add a splash of cranberry juice.

4. Squeeze in fresh lime.

5. Top with ginger beer.

6. Give it a gentle stir.

7. Garnish with rosemary if you’re feeling fancy (or hosting someone you’re trying to impress).

About That Rosemary 🌿

Let’s be honest.
The rosemary isn’t about flavor.
It’s about vibes.

If you want your kitchen to smell like Christmas — add it.
If you don’t have rosemary or don’t care — skip it.

When to Serve It

• While wrapping gifts at midnight

• While hosting family you love dearly but need a buffer from

• While standing in the kitchen laughing too hard at an inside joke from 1998

• Or when you just want five quiet minutes and a pretty drink in your hand

Because sometimes the holidays aren’t about perfection.
They’re about connection.
And laughing until your cheeks hurt.

Cheers to that 🥂
