Ingredients
Non-Alcoholic Version:
- 2 ounces cranberry juice
- 1 ounce lime juice
- 1 ounce simple syrup (or to taste)
- 8 fresh mint leaves
- 4 ounces sparkling water or club soda
- Cranberries and lime wedges for garnish
Alcoholic Version:
- 2 ounces white rum
- 2 ounces cranberry juice
- 1 ounce lime juice
- 1 ounce simple syrup (or to taste)
- 8 fresh mint leaves
- 2 ounces sparkling water or club soda
- Cranberries and lime wedges for garnish
Instructions
- Muddle mint: In a sturdy glass (like a highball or Collins glass), gently muddle the mint leaves with the simple syrup. Don't over-muddle, just bruise the leaves to release their aroma.
- Add juices and rum (if using): Add the cranberry juice and lime juice to the glass. If making the alcoholic version, add the rum as well.
- Fill with ice: Fill the glass with ice cubes.
- Top with sparkling water: Top the glass with sparkling water or club soda.
- Stir and garnish: Stir gently to combine all the ingredients. Garnish with fresh cranberries and lime wedges.
- Serve: Serve immediately.
Notes
- Simple Syrup: Simple syrup is equal parts sugar and water, heated until the sugar dissolves. You can make it at home or buy it pre-made.
- Muddling: Muddling the mint releases its flavor. Don't overdo it, or the drink will taste bitter.
- Sweetness: Adjust the amount of simple syrup to your liking.
- Rum: Use white rum for a classic mojito. You can also experiment with flavored rums.
- Sparkling Water: Sparkling water or club soda adds a nice fizz to the drink. You can also use ginger ale or other flavored sparkling beverages.
- Garnish: Fresh cranberries and lime wedges make a beautiful and festive garnish.
