On Episode 3 of Crafts, Cocktails and Conversation with Carmeon Hamilton, we knew we needed a flavorful cocktail that would compliment the vivacious energy of our guest Frances Berry-Merino. Enter the Feliz Navidad (aka a Mexican Mule)!

A twist on the classic Moscow Mule, this crisp cocktail swaps out vodka for tequila. The flavor is bold and still packs a bit of a kick thanks to the ginger beer. It only has a few ingredients (and it doesn’t require a shaker, muddler, or strainer), so you’ll be able to easily whip these up as you work on your crafts!

Feliz Navidad (Mexican Mule)

Ingredients

• 2 oz (¼ cup) tequila

• ½ oz (1 tablespoon) fresh lime juice

• 4 oz (½ cup) ginger beer

This tasty cocktail is best served in a copper mug. Enjoy!
