Holiday Mule Mocktail image

A non-alcoholic, holiday version of the Moscow mule. It uses a cranberry shrub instead of lime and a splash of club soda instead of vodka. It's a perfect combination for an aperitivo or snack. If possible, serve with savory macarons as a garnish; thread each macaron onto a skewer, put two in each glass, and serve immediately.

Time 45m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup white vinegar
1 cup water
1 cup white sugar
1 cup fresh cranberries
2 pods cardamom, crushed
4 whole allspice berries, cracked
ΒΌ (1 inch) piece cinnamon stick
ice cubes
8 fluid ounces ginger beer (such as Fentimans)
2 fluid ounces club soda

Steps:

  • Combine vinegar, water, and sugar in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add cranberries, cardamom pods, allspice berries, and cinnamon stick; bring to a boil. Stir and cover until cranberries begin to pop, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir again, being careful that cranberries do not burn you as they pop. Reduce heat and simmer until sugar has dissolved and cranberries have released their juice, about 10 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and allow to steep for 15 minutes. Strain into a container, seal, and refrigerate. Discard pulp.
  • Fill 2 highball glasses halfway with ice. Add 1 fluid ounce cranberry shrub, 4 fluid ounces ginger beer, and 1 fluid ounce club soda to each glass. Stir well.
