Cherry Lime Mojito image

This mojito will be fantastic at any summer party. It's slightly sweet, tangy and very refreshing thanks to the fresh mint. You taste the rum in this adult beverage, but it's not overpowering. A great cocktail for warmer nights.

Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 sprig(s) fresh mint
1/2 lime, cut into wedges
1 1/2 oz clear rum
1/2 c cherry or black cherry juice
1/2 c sparkling water (or Sprite)
handful of ice
sliced lime (garnish)
fresh mint leaves (garnish)
cherries, pitted (garnish)

Steps:

  • 1. Gather ingredients.
  • 2. Place the mint and lime wedges in a glass and using a wooden spoon "muddle" together.
  • 3. Add cherry juice to the glass.
  • 4. Add sparkling water (or Sprite if you want it to be super sweet). Put ice in the glass.
  • 5. Add clear rum and give a gentle stir or two.
  • 6. Garnish with sliced lime, a cherry or two and a few mint leaves for an elegant presentation.
  • 7. It is possible to increase the ingredients on this drink and make them in a pitcher, but I highly recommend against it. The flavor combinations don't come out quite right poured compared to individually mixed.
