Block One: The Holiday Cheer-Meister Mule Recipe

by | Dec 19, 2025

The “Holiday Cheer-Meister Mule” cocktail, paired with Block One Potato Vodka, is a bright and festive twist on a classic mule. Block One pairs perfectly with winter citrus and a touch of cranberry for color. The ginger beer adds sparkle and spice while the dried orange wheel gives it a warm, seasonal aroma. Simple to make and perfect for holiday gatherings.

INGREDIENTS

2 ounces of Block One Potato Vodka
1ounce fresh orange juice
½ ounce cranberry juice (for color and subtle tartness)
3-4 ounces Ginger Beer
Optional: 1 Dash of Orange Bitters
Ice

GARNISH

Orange Wheel

DIRECTIONS

Fill a copper mug with ice. Add vodka, orange juice, cranberry juice, and orange bitters. Stir gently to mix and top with chilled ginger beer. Garnish with a dried orange wheel.

Optional: A few cranberries or a sprig of rosemary for a more festive holiday look!

Dried Orange Wheel garnish prep

Dry your own orange wheels in an oven at 200 degrees F for 2-3 hours, flipping halfway and taking them out once dehydrated.
