Cranberry-Mojito-1

 

Cranberry Mojitos (makes 2):

  • 8 oz. fresh cranberries
  • 1 C sugar
  • 1 C water
  • 20 mint leaves
  • 2 T lime juice
  • Ice
  • 4 oz. rum
  • 4-6 oz. soda water

Put cranberries, sugar, and water in a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Then lower the heat a bit to medium-low and continue to cook for about 10 minutes, before your berries start bursting. Remove from heat. Once the berry mixture has cooled, you can strain them. Put about 10 leaves of mint and a T of lime juice in each glass. With the back of a wooden spoon or a muddler mash the mint up. Now put ice in each glass and pour 2 oz. of the cranberry syrup and 2 oz. rum into each glass. Top off each glass with soda water. And sprinkle some fresh cranberries in for garnish.
