CRANBERRY MOJITO COCKTAIL RECIPE

Steps:

• Cut the lime into at least 6 thin slices. Set aside.
• Place 4-5 mint leaves and a lime slice in the bottom of each glass. With a muddler or wooden spoon handle, muddle the lime and mint to release the mint juices.
• Pour 1/2 cup rum, 1/4 cup sweet and sour mix, and 1/2 cup cranberry juice into each glass and stir.
• Add 2 lime slices into each glass and add ice. Top off the glass with about 1/4 cup lemon-lime soda and stir.
• If desired, garnish with lime wedges, frozen cranberries and a mint sprig.

CRANBERRY LIME MOJITO

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, mix together the sugar, water, and fresh cranberries. Simmer over low heat for about 5 minutes. The sauce will get very thick, and the cranberries may 'pop' (or open up). Cover with a mesh strainer to prevent cranberries staining your shirt!
• Muddle the mint and lime juice together and separate evenly into 4 glasses.
• Separate the cranberry syrup into each glass.
• Pour about 2 ounces of rum into each glass.
• Top with crushed ice and sparkling water.

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!
