Continuing on with our #CranberryCocktails week and these Cranberry Mojitos were yummy!
CRANBERRY MOJITOS:
8 fresh cranberries
1/2 lime, chopped
1 Tbl. cranberry simple syrup (recipe below)
6 fresh mint leaves
1/4 cup spiced rum (I know white rum is traditional, but trust me)
Muddle the cranberries, lime, simple syrup and mint. Add rum and a handful of ice. Shake and pour into a small cocktail glass. Top off with some soda water/club soda if you like.

Cranberry Simple Syrup:
