1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup water
1 cup fresh cranberries
Cranberry Lime Mojito:
16 sprigs mint
3 tablespoons lime juice
8 ounces light rum
24 ounces sparkling water
Cranberry Syrup: In a small saucepan, mix together the sugar, water, and fresh cranberries. Simmer over low heat for about 5 minutes. The sauce will get very thick, and the cranberries may 'pop' (or open up). Cover with a mesh strainer to prevent cranberries staining your shirt! Assembly: Muddle the mint and lime juice together and separate evenly into 4 glasses. Separate the cranberry syrup into each glass. Pour about 2 ounces of rum into each glass. Top with crushed ice and sparkling water.
