Yield 4 mules

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 heaping tablespoon dried cranberries, for garnish
2 ounces simple syrup, plus more for soaking the cranberries
6 ounces vodka
4 ounces orange juice
4 ounces unfiltered cranberry juice
4 ounces ginger beer

Steps:

  • Put the dried cranberries in a small bowl and add enough simple syrup to cover. Let soak until slightly softened, about 1 hour. Meanwhile, chill 4 copper mule mugs in the freezer.
  • For each drink, combine 1 1/2 ounces vodka, 1 ounce each orange juice and cranberry juice and 1/2 ounce simple syrup in a cocktail shaker filled with large ice cubes and shake vigorously. Add 1 ounce ginger beer, seal the shaker again and gently twist the shaker back and forth once (this will combine the drink without making the ginger beer go flat). Strain into a chilled copper mule mug and fill with fresh ice. Garnish with a few of the soaked cranberries.

Tips:

  • To ensure the turkey is cooked thoroughly, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the breast and thigh.
  • Allow the turkey to rest for 15-20 minutes before carving to allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful meat.
  • For a crispy and golden-brown skin, brush the turkey with melted butter or olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper before roasting.
  • Don't overcrowd the roasting pan with vegetables or stuffing, as this can prevent the turkey from cooking evenly.
  • If you're short on time, you can use store-bought stuffing or gravy to save time and effort.
  • Experiment with different marinades and seasonings to create a unique and flavorful turkey that suits your taste preferences.

Conclusion:

With careful preparation and cooking techniques, you can create a delicious and impressive Moscow turkey that will be the star of your holiday feast.
