Cranberry Mojito Mocktail

Cranberry Mojito Mocktail @themerrythought
Mojitos are one of our favorite mocktails to sip…we just can’t enough of the refreshing minty lime flavor!   This cranberry mojito mocktail is the perfect drink to serve at a holiday party – it’s refreshing, sweet and so festive! And speaking of festive…it’s already looking like Christmas out my window!  I’m not quite sure I’m ready for snow – although the boys were pretty giddy about it and that makes it a little easier to take!

Muddle mint leaves and lime juice in the bottom of a tall glass. Add cranberry syrup and ice. Fill remainder of glass with club soda. Garnish with mint leaves and cranberries. Stir before drinking. (For a sweeter drink, use half club soda and half lemon-lime soda – or all lemon-lime soda!)

In a small saucepan, simmer water, sugar and cranberries over medium low heat for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat, allow to cool slightly and strain. Discard berries.
