Yule Mule

Yule Mule: A Festive Twist on a Spicy Classic

If you're looking to bring a bit of Christmas cheer to your cocktail menu, the Yule Mule is the perfect serve. It takes the classic Moscow Mule and gives it a seasonal makeover — think juicy berries, warming spice, and a beautifully festive finish. With a base of vodka or dry gin, a splash of Chambord, zesty lime, and a generous top-up of Double Dutch Ginger Beer, this cocktail is rich, refreshing, and packed with yuletide flavour.

What sets the Yule Mule apart is its balance of deep berry sweetness, crisp citrus, and fiery ginger. Chambord brings luxurious black raspberry and vanilla notes, while lime juice adds a tart edge that cuts through perfectly. Then, the star of the show: Double Dutch Ginger Beer, which adds a bold, spiced sparkle and elevates the entire drink into festive territory.

Why We Love It

The Yule Mule is a true celebration cocktail — spicy, fizzy, fruity, and endlessly sippable. It’s easy to make but feels impressively festive, especially when served in a traditional copper Mule mug topped with crushed ice. The seasonal garnishes take things up a notch, transforming this drink into a centrepiece-worthy showstopper. Whether you go with vodka or gin, the result is a bright, warming drink that brings holiday vibes with every sip.

Perfect For…

This cocktail was made for Christmas parties, tree-trimming nights, and festive catch-ups with friends. It's lively, flavourful, and full of winter charm — making it the ideal welcome drink or signature serve. The Yule Mule also plays beautifully with holiday canapés, cheese boards, and sweet treats like gingerbread or mince pies.

Double Dutch Mixer Match

Double Dutch Ginger Beer is the perfect festive mixer — bold, naturally spicy, and beautifully balanced. It brings warmth and energy to the cocktail without overpowering the other ingredients. Its gentle sweetness complements the Chambord, while the ginger heat adds a warming finish that lingers delightfully on the palate.

Top Tips for Serving

• Serve in a Mule mug or tumbler: Copper mugs keep the drink chilled and enhance presentation.
• Crushed ice works best: It keeps the drink cold while mellowing the ginger and fruit notes.
• Garnish generously: A cinnamon stick, star anise, orange slice and even a mini pine cutting make this a cocktail — and a centrepiece.

With its spice, sparkle and unmistakable festive flair, the Yule Mule is a winter cocktail that’s here to impress. It’s bold, bright, and just the right amount of merry — perfect for toasting the season in style.
