Ingredients
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup water
- 4 limes juiced and zested separately
- 16 ounce bag frozen pitted cherries or two cups fresh, pitted cherries
- ½ cup fresh mint leaves
- ½ cup cherry flavored rum or regular Bacardi Rum would work too
- ½ cup dark rum
Instructions
- First make a simple syrup by combining the sugar, water and zest from 4 limes in a small saucepan. Heat on medium heat and stir until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In food processor, process the frozen cherries until finely blended. Add in the fresh mint leaves and the juice of your 4 limes.
- In a blender, mix cherry mixture with lime syrup and rums. Pour over ice and enjoy immediately!

Notes
- Can't find cherry flavored rum or prefer not to use it? Regular white Bacardi will work just fine in its place.
- Make sure the cherries are blended into a puree before adding the rum and other ingredients. This makes the drink smooth and sippable!
- This recipe makes enough to serve between 6 - 8 depending on how large your pours are. To make enough for a bigger crowd, double the recipe and pour both blenders full of mojito into a large pitcher to pour from. Keep chiled until ready to serve.
