Cranberry Moscow Mule – a festive and delicious holiday drink!

This Cranberry Smash Moscow Mule is the most festive and delicious cocktail for your holiday season!

Now, as you guys know, I don’t drink too often.  After doing Whole30 a couple of times, it is just something that I cut out of my day-to-day lifestyle.  Buuuuut when I do indulge in a cocktail….. it is going to look and taste like this and it is going to be on a special occasion!  Love how easy this recipe is!

It is bubbly and sweet and adds just that extra something to the drink.  The cranberry smash is the perfect compliment, along with the lime (and vodka – of course).  This would be the perfect cocktail to feature as a signature cocktail at your holiday party or as an after-dinner drink for Thanksgiving!

If you are one of my fellow Whole30’ers or are just not feeling the cocktail vibe, try out this Cranberry Cinnamon Kombucha Mocktail instead!

I hope you guys had a good week!
