Notes

Make this a Cranberry Moscow Mule Mocktail by leaving out the vodka. 
Multiply this recipe by 8 to make a pitcher of cranberry mules. Always taste test, as the flavors can change a little when multiplying the recipe. 
The sugared cranberries and orange zest are a MUST for this recipe. They add such a wonderful flavor to the cocktail.
