- Cool at room temperature before using.
- Cherry Mojito (1 Serving)
- In a tall 8-ounce glass place clean mint leaves at the bottomof the glass and muddle releasing the oils.
- Add 1-2 tablespoon of cherry syrup and fill 2/3rds of the glasswith ice.
- Add rum, lime juice and fill the rest of the glass with club soda. Stir with a cocktail swizzle stick. Garnish with fresh cherries, lime, and mint.
Notes
- Frozen cherries can be used in place of fresh. You will need to simmer the syrup longer. Also be sure you pick frozen cherries without added sugar.
- Cherry syrup can be strained to remove the solids before using if preferred.
- Sugar Free Option - Use 2 teaspoons of Truvia granulated sweetener instead of the drops or 2 tablespoons of your favorite alternative sweetener.
