Cranberry Mojitos

• 8 oz. fresh cranberries
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup water
• 20 mint leaves
• 2 tbsp lime juice
• Ice
• 4 oz. rum
• 4-6 oz. soda water

1. Put cranberries, sugar, and water in a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
2. Then lower the heat a bit to medium-low and continue to cook for about 10 minutes, before berries start bursting. Remove from heat.
3. Once the berry mixture has cooled, strain them. Can be let to cool overnight in the fridge. Make sure the berries had seeped as much as possible and left lots of flavor behind.
4. Put about 10 leaves of mint and a tsp of lime juice in each glass. With the back of a wooden spoon or a muddler mash the mint up.
5. Now put ice in each glass and pour 2 oz. of the cranberry syrup and 2 oz. rum into each glass.
6. Top off each glass with soda water. And sprinkle some fresh cranberries in for garnish.
