This Cranberry Mule Mocktail is the perfect holiday drink! Even with no alcohol, it still tastes just like a traditional Moscow mule with cranberry juice for a Thanksgiving or Christmas twist.

I love the holidays, and nothing gets me more in the spirit than a nice holiday beverage. Cranberry is always the ultimate flavor for the holiday season and I love adding it to all my favorite mocktail recipes. This is a classic mocktail mule recipe but made with cranberry juice so it’s all dressed up for the holidays. Just a little juice with lime and ginger make the perfect non-alcoholic drink and you won’t miss the vodka! For another fun holiday drink, be sure to try our Dry Rudolph!

Bottles of lime juice, diet ginger beer, and cranberry juice are displayed on a countertop. Fresh cranberries and a sliced lime sit in front of the bottles, with a white tiled wall in the background.

Ingredients Needed

  • Juice: Lime juice and cranberry juice mix up the perfect taste. I like using 100% juice for the cranberry juice.
  • Ginger Beer: Use virgin ginger beer to make this recipe completely non-alcoholic. Ginger beer adds the best ginger flavor to the drink. You can substitute ginger ale if you don’t have ginger beer.
  • Garnish: Sliced lime wedges, fresh cranberries, and mint are my favorite topping

Expert Tips

  • I love using the classic copper mugs for mules if you have them!
  • You can use all store-bought ingredients in this virgin Moscow mule, but if you have fresh mint leaves, or fresh lime juice – you can use those too!
  • Serve immediately – the ginger beer will lose carbonation and make the drink flat.
  • This drink reminds me of a Cranberry Ginger Fizz but with more ginger flavor!
  • We also make a strawberry mocktail mule with fresh muddles strawberries.
