Cranberry Mojitos. It’s officially the holidays!!! Thanksgiving has been celebrated and I finally allowed myself to listen to Michael Buble and light my peppermint Yankee Candle, while Chris and I assembled our Christmas tree. We also did quite a bit of Black Friday shopping online. Er, one for you and one for me was my basic philosophy. Oops? One of my favorite things about the holidays is, duh, holiday cocktails. Cranberry Mojitos (makes 2):Print this recipe! 8 oz. fresh cranberries1 C sugar1 C water20 mint leaves2 T lime juiceIce4 oz. rum4-6 oz. soda water I didn’t want to use fake cranberry juice in my drink and really wanted to incorporate the real deal in.
Just 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. Once the berry mixture has cooled, you can strain them. Now you’re ready to get your drink mixing on! Thanksgiving memories forever!
