Pomegranate Moscow Mule



Looking for the perfect holiday cocktail?  I think I may have found it!  I made this last week for our Thanksgiving dinner and it was a hit!  I purchased my Moscow mule mugs last spring and look for any excuse to use them - I think they are so pretty. 
 
 


{ Recipe inspired by this one from the Cookie Rookie }
