Cranberry Mojito – a Holiday Cocktail
November 12, 2024
Cranberry Mojito
Cheers to the holiday season with this festive Cranberry Mojito! The star of the show is a rosemary simple syrup, adding an earthy, delicious twist to the tart cranberry flavor. Grab your favorite white rum, cranberry juice, and top it off with sparkling water. Want a mocktail? Just skip the rum, and it's just as refreshing. Garnish with a fresh sprig of rosemary and cranberries for that holiday touch, and try freezing mint in your ice cubes to bring out extra minty vibes. Let's toast to the holidays with this perfect blend of seasonal flavors.
