For a spicier mule, use a spicier ginger beer or add a few slices of fresh ginger to the cranberry syrup while it simmers. The cranberry syrup can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Adjust the amount of cranberry syrup to your liking, depending on how sweet you prefer your cocktail. If you don't have fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries, but be sure to thaw them slightly before using. Experiment with different garnishes, such as orange slices or star anise, for a festive touch.
