CRANBERRY MOJITO

Steps:

• In a jar, break up the mint leaves with the back of a wooden spoon or pestle to release the mint flavor.
• Add the brown sugar, lemon juice, cranberry juice, rum, and mineral water. Stir to combine.
• Serve in glasses with ice. Garnish with lime wedges, blueberries and a sprig of mint.

SUNNY 'S CRANBERRY MOJITO PITCHER

Steps:

• Combine the cranberry juice, agave and mint in a medium saucepan over medium heat just until it comes to a boil. Whisk to combine, then cover and steep until the cranberry juice tastes like mint, 3 to 5 minutes. If not sweet enough for your liking, add a bit more syrup. Strain out the mint and pour the liquid into a pitcher.
• Stir the rum and lime juice into the pitcher and refrigerate until cold.
• To serve, add 3 to 4 mint leaves, a few cranberries and ice to lowball or wine glasses. Pour in the chilled drink, then top off with a splash of sparkling water or ginger ale. Enjoy!

BLOOD ORANGE GINGER CRANBERRY MOJITO'S

Steps:

• For the Ginger simple syrup:
• In a small pan, combine the ginger, sugar and water and bring to a simmer, stirring until the sugar is dissolved, about 2 minutes. Then set aside to chill. You can make this ahead of time.
• For the Sugar rim:
• Rub the rims of the glasses with a lime wedge and then gently coat them in brown sugar. Let them dry as you get together the ingredients for the drinks.
• To make the Mojitos:
• In the bottom of four heavy highball glasses, divide the mint and lime wedges evenly between the four glasses, 2 tablespoons simple syrup to each glass and use a muddler to smash them all together and release the mint oil and lime juice.
• Add ice cubes, rum and blood orange soda to fill the glass most of the way. Put a floater of cranberry juice on the top (a couple tablespoons) You could serve as is (I love the look of the floater and the two different colors) or stir them together.
• Garnish with fresh mint, cranberries and candied ginger.
