Equipment

  • Equipment Needed: Cocktail shaker, strainer, copper mug (or glass), measuring jigger

Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients
  • 2 oz vodka or a spicy flavored vodka for extra heat
  • 1 oz cranberry juice preferably unsweetened
  • 1 oz lime juice freshly squeezed for best flavor
  • 4 oz ginger beer
  • Fresh cranberries for garnish
  • Lime wedges for garnish
  • Sliced jalapeño optional, for added heat
  • Ice crushed or cubed

Instructions
 

  • Method
  • Prepare Your Glass: Start by filling your copper mug (or glass) with ice. This will keep your drink nice and chilled.
  • Mix the Base: In a cocktail shaker, combine the vodka, cranberry juice, and lime juice. If you love a bit of spice, add a few slices of jalapeño to the shaker for that extra kick.
  • Shake It Up: Secure the lid on your shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds. This helps to blend the flavors while chilling the mixture.
  • Strain and Serve: Strain the mixture over the ice-filled mug, leaving some room for the ginger beer.
  • Top It Off: Pour in the ginger beer gently to avoid excessive fizz.
  • Garnish: Finish with fresh cranberries, a lime wedge, and, if desired, a slice of jalapeño on top.
  • Variations
  • Fruity Twist: Add a splash of orange juice or a few slices of fresh apple for a fruity twist.
  • Herbal Kick: Muddle a few mint leaves in the shaker before adding the other ingredients for a refreshing herbal note.
  • Mocktail Version: Substitute vodka with sparkling water or soda for a non-alcoholic version that’s just as tasty.
