This Cranberry Mule is a seasonal treat that hits all the holiday notes. We the cranberry syrup with a hint of orange that compliments the botanicals in NOLET’S Silver and creates a complex fruit-forward cocktail with just the right amount of tart. It’s a beautiful cocktail to share when celebrating.
2 oz NOLET’S Silver Gin
0.5 oz Fresh Lime Juice
2 oz Cranberry Syrup
4 oz Ginger Beer
Orange or Lime Wheels, Rosemary or Mint for Garnish
For the cocktail, combine NOLET’S Silver, lime juice and the cranberry syrup (with whole cranberries) in a shaker with ice. Shake until well chilled and pour over fresh ice in a highball or copper mule mug and top with ginger beer. Garnish with citrus and herbs.
Cranberry Syrup:
0.5 c Sugar
2 c Fresh Cranberries
1 Tablespoon Grated Orange Zest
0.5 c Water
In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, cranberries, and orange zest with a half cup of water and warm to a simmer. When cranberries begin to soften before they all pop, take the mixture off the heat and let cool. Use both liquid and softened cranberries when building the cocktail. Unused syrup may be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
For a pitcher (approximately 6-8 cocktails)
