Servings: 1 cocktail
Calories: 225kcal
Equipment
- Copper Moscow Mule Mug
- Bar spoon
- Knife
- Cutting board
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 oz. Vodka
- 4 1/2 oz. Wassail
- 4 oz. Ginger Beer
- 1/2 oz lime
- 4 drops Bitters
- 1/2 oz. Ginger Liqueur (optional)
Instructions
- In a copper mug, add a handful of ice.
- Add vodka, wassail, lime juice and ginger beer and give a gentle stir.
- Top with bitters. (Do not skip the Bitters!)
- If you want to, you can add a little ginger liqueur for extra flavor.
- Add a slice of clove-studded orange if desired.
Notes
- You don't have to use a copper mug, but they are a great way to make the drink feel extra festive and stay super chilled.
- You can always adjust the sweetness level by adding more juice or even a little bit of simple syrup.
- If you plan to serve wassail to the kids (minus the alcohol of course!), skip the garnishes. Cloves can be a choking hazard and the smell can be too intense for them.
- If you don't have a Trader Joe's near you or the Wassail is sold out, you can make a spiced cider base like this one here made with cranberry juice.
