Recipe notes:

Light ginger beer: I love Fever Tree Light ginger beer. It's super spicy and delicious, plus it's only got 37 calories per bottle. 

Instructions

  • Measure maple syrup, water, cranberries, cinnamon sticks and rosemary into a small sauce pan. Place on high heat and bring to a boil.
  • Once mixture is boiling, reduce heat to low. Simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Use a fine mesh strainer to drain liquid.
  • Fill your Moscow mule mug with ice. Add vodka, ginger beer, orange juice and cranberry simple syrup. Mix and add garnish if desired.
  • Enjoy!
