Ingredients

  • 5 oz fresh cranberries
  • 5 oz water
  • 2 tbsp + 2 tsp granulated sugar (divided)
  • 5-6 fresh mint leaves
  • 2 tbsp lime juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 2 oz rum (such as Flor de Cana)

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, combine the cranberries, water, and 2 tbsp of sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil, then let it simmer for 10 minutes until the sugar completely dissolves. Allow it to cool for 10 minutes.
  2. In a measuring cup, muddle the fresh mint leaves with 2 tsp of sugar until the leaves are bruised and the sugar is dissolved.
  3. Strain the cranberry syrup into a pitcher, reserving 5-6 cranberries for garnishing later.
  4. Add the lime juice, rum, and muddled mint into the pitcher, and stir to combine.
  5. Strain the mixture through a medium mesh strainer to extract all the juices from the mint leaves.
  6. Pour the cocktail over a tall glass filled with ice, and garnish with fresh mint leaves and the reserved cranberries.
