Grab those copper mugs ladies and gents because Chrissy McDonald of Harlow James and Torrey Fox Photography have got just the ticket to put those puppies to use. This Pomegranate Mule is not only festive and gourmet style deliciousness but it also comes packing a bonus treat. Fig infused vodka...umm yum! Snag the recipes for both below and get ready for a serious Holiday Mule upgrade.
It's that time of year again, the surge of holiday parties! To shake things up a bit, Torrey and I wanted to create an easy cocktail with a festive touch.
