A Cranberry Orange Mojito is the perfect drink to add a refreshing, festive twist to your adult fun! It combines the tartness of cranberries, the citrusy brightness of orange, and the classic minty freshness of a mojito, creating a cocktail that’s vibrant, flavorful, and perfect for any occasion.

Here’s how to make a Cranberry Orange Mojito:

Ingredients:

• 2 oz white rum
• 6-8 fresh mint leaves
• 1 oz fresh lime juice (about 1 lime)
• 1 oz cranberry juice (unsweetened or lightly sweetened)
• 1 oz orange juice (freshly squeezed for the best flavor)
• 1/2 oz simple syrup (or to taste)
• 1/4 cup fresh cranberries (for muddling)
• Ice
• Club soda or sparkling water (to top)
• Orange slices and fresh cranberries (for garnish)
• Mint sprigs (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Muddle the fruit:

• In a glass, add the fresh cranberries, mint leaves, and lime juice. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the cranberries and mint together. This will release the juices and essential oils from the mint, creating a flavorful base for your cocktail.

2. Add the liquids:

• Pour in the white rum, cranberry juice, orange juice, and simple syrup. Stir everything together well to combine.

3. Fill with ice:

• Fill the glass with ice cubes (or crushed ice, if you prefer). Stir again to chill the mixture.

4. Top with sparkling water:

• Top off your mojito with club soda or sparkling water for that fizzy, refreshing finish. Stir gently to mix.

5. Garnish and serve:

• Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint, a few cranberries, and a slice of orange on the rim of the glass.

Tips:

• Sweetness level: Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less simple syrup depending on your preference and the sweetness of the cranberry juice.
• Extra flair: If you want an extra special touch, you can rim the glass with sugar or sugar mixed with zest from orange or lime.
• Frozen cranberries: You can use frozen cranberries in place of ice cubes for extra chill and a beautiful pop of color.
