2 ounces vodka
1 ounce cranberry juice cocktail
½ ounce lime juice
3½ ounces ginger beer

Instructions

Fill a 16 ounce copper mug 2/3 of the way full of ice.

Notes

Ginger beer is a sweet fizzy drink with a pronounced ginger flavor. You can buy it in small bottles in the mixers area near the alcohol.
This recipe makes one drink. You can easily adjust the number of servings in the recipe card to fit your occasion and the ingredient amounts will automatically scale up.
This recipe does not use a cocktail shaker because many home cooks do not have them on hand. If you do prefer to shake your mule, you can place the vodka, cranberry juice and lime juice in cocktail shaker or sealed mason jar. Shake the ingredients together, then pour them over the ice and add the ginger beer.
