Hey, Hi! Welcome to the final “Christmas Drink Saturday”!
How is that Christmas is now LESS than a week away?? How is it that I’ve already shared three new drink recipes – all perfect for Christmas?!? The first one up was this pretty Christmas Sangria, the second recipe were these Cranberry Orange Margaritas, and now… Pomegranate and Peppermint Moscow Mules! Yes, I think I may have saved the best for last. Something about these Moscow Mules just screams Christmas to me…possibly the cute red and green colors!! Clearly I did that on purpose…hehe.
OKAY. So I made us another super quick video to go along with these drinks. It’s totally embarrassing, but I just HAD to wear my santa hat. I mean, I couldn’t help myself. I really hope you guys like the video, but more importantly, I hope you love the Moscow Mules. We gave them a test drive at Thanksgiving and we all decided they need to make another appearance at Christmas!
So this really should be your “Christmas Drink”. They are just so quick, easy and SO so good! Meaning you NEED these drinks in your life… ASAP.
Cheers to Christmas being just FIVE days away.

Made this for Christmas this year, and it was a huge hit! It was easy to make and looked beautiful and fancy! Thank you for all the great recipes!
Hi! Thank you so so much for trying out the recipe! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas! xT
Is this the correct amount of Vodka? 1 to 2 oz for over a cup of juice seems quite low.
Show !
Can you make this as a large batch for a party?
Yes, that works great! Just be sure to add the ginger beer right before serving so it does not go flat. Please let me know if you have other questions. Hope you love this recipe! Happy Holidays!! 🙂
I just wanted to stop by and say, this is one of my favorite pictures. It perfectly captures the season. Next up – to make and drink these 🙂
Thank you so much!! I hope you love them!
