Mules can often be associated with the warmer months, given the heaping mugfuls of crushed ice and the spicy ginger beer. But the addition of cranberry liqueur from Hood River Distillers — and their Timberline Vodka, no less — places this refreshing sip squarely in the holiday cocktail category. All that’s left is to wait under the mistletoe for a Christmas kiss. Bring a second mug and you won’t wait for long!
