The Kranks Caribbean Mule Recipes

SUMMERTIME MULE

Steps:

• Fill a copper cup or mug with ice.
• Muddle mint leaves in a cocktail shaker until crushed. Add diced cucumber, blueberries, and 2 lime wedges. Muddle until cucumber and blueberries are crushed and limes have been juiced. Add more ice and vodka. Cover the shaker and shake until the outside has frosted.
• Strain the cocktail into the iced cup, top with ginger beer, and garnish with 3 blueberries, 2 mint leaves, and a slice of cucumber.

MOSCOW MULE WITH BOURBON

HOLIDAY MULE MOCKTAIL

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.
