Cocktail
- 1
Chill glass and prepare ice
If desired, chill a copper mule mug or highball glass in the freezer for 5 minutes. Add 1 cup of ice to the chilled glass until nearly full.

Build the cocktail
Pour 2 oz Captain Morgan's Spiced Rum over the ice. Add 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice and 1 oz cranberry juice. If you prefer a slightly sweeter drink, add 0.25 oz simple syrup.

Top with ginger beer
Carefully top the mixture with 4 oz chilled ginger beer. Stir gently with a bar spoon (about 6–8 gentle rotations) to combine without flattening the ginger beer's fizz.

Adjust and taste
Taste the cocktail and adjust balance: add up to 0.25 oz more cranberry for fruitiness, 0.25 oz more lemon for brightness, or a touch more simple syrup for sweetness. Stir gently after any adjustment.
