This Cranberry Ginger Beer Mocktail is a real crowd pleaser!
At holiday parties and events, I like to serve at least one tasty non-alcoholic drink, or mocktail.
Sure, it’s easy to provide soft drinks and coffee, but why not offer something extra special like our Cranberry Ginger Beer Mocktail?
It’s nice to have something for my guests to enjoy who either don’t drink alcohol, are a designated driver, or who are underage.
And it’s only 35 calories per serving!
I call that a win!
A Cranberry Ginger Beer Mocktail is fun for everyone!
Our Cranberry Ginger Beer Mocktail recipe is absolutely delicious. And it’s so festive.
The ginger beer gives it a rich flavor, and if you use an extra spicy one, it can offer a bit of a kick!
Mix that delicious ginger flavor profile with the cranberries and it’s so yummy.
Just toss in some frozen cranberries, which help keep your drink nice and cold too, and have fun.
I also like that for holiday parties, I’m typically going to have the ingredients to make a this mocktail on hand for other recipes too.
So I don’t have to buy anything extra.
I like to serve mocktails with as much pizzazz as I would my favorite cocktail.
And during the holidays, I like to grab a copper Moscow Mule mug for this drink.
Being a metal drinking mug, it stays nice and cold.
Thanks to Sparkling Ice for sharing their recipe and photos with us.

Note: Sparkling Ice Cranberry Frost is a seasonal flavor.

How to Make a Cranberry Ginger Beer Mocktail

Fill your copper Moscow Mule mug with ice to chill.
Make the Drink:
Take your iced copper mug and pour ginger beer and Sparkling Ice Cranberry Frost.
Stir.
Garnish with frozen cranberries.
Do I have to use a copper Moscow mule mug?
If you don’t have a copper Moscow Mule mug, I like to make this drink in either a highball glass or a champagne flute.
It doesn’t impact the flavor or how you make the drink.
But if you want it to look really pretty, you can layer the berries.
Just add a bit of ice, then add some frozen cranberries.
Then alternate another layer or two of ice and cranberries depending on the size of your glass.

What an easy and delightful mocktail. I love how perfect it is for fall and winter seasons too. I’ll be adding this to my holiday menus to serve for family and guests that don’t drink.
