1 Tbsp ginger root
1 gm star anise, 1 item
1 item(s) whole cloves
1 medium orange(s), juice and zest
2 Tbsp water
4 fl oz ginger beer

Instructions
Set a medium-sized saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the cranberries, ginger, star anise, and clove and allow to simmer, until the cranberries break down, approximately 5-7 minutes.
Remove the cranberry mixture from the heat and stir in the orange zest, orange juice and water. Allow to cool slightly, then pass through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds, skins and herbs. Reserve the compote for the cocktail.
In a traditional copper mule cup muddle 1 Tbsp cranberry compote with the vodka, mint leaves, and lime wedges. Top with ice and ginger beer
