Cranberry Mule

I drank my first Moscow Mule when I was on a photo assignment in Baton Rouge, visiting a hole-in-the-wall bar that offered entirely too many fun cocktails.
I normally don’t drink when I’m working, but after photographing the owner of the establishment, he insisted I try something.
I asked what he recommended, and he said definitively, “The Moscow Mule.”
And so I was introduced to one of my favorite cocktails.

Ingredients

• Sugared Cranberries (for garnishing)
• 12 oz. fresh cranberries
• 1/2 cup simple syrup
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• Cranberry Mule
• 2 oz. unsweetened cranberry juice (do NOT use cranberry cocktail)
• 3 oz. ginger beer
• 1 1/2 oz. spiced rum
• 1 oz. simple syrup
• Ice , for serving

Instructions

1. Make the Sugared Cranberries
2. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place a wire cooling rack on top of the lined baking sheet, and set aside.
3. In a large bowl, measure in the simple syrup.
4. Toss the cranberries in the simple syrup, removing them with a slotted spoon, then place on the wire cooling rack.
