Cranberry Mojito Drink Recipe

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

I am getting in the holiday spirit with my Sweet’N Low Cranberry Mojito as part of a sponsored post for Socialstars! #SweetNLowStars
Start the night off right with this amazing Cranberry Mojito!The other week I shared a delicious Raspberry Mojito over on Angela’s blog, and I thought to myself Hey Karly, why don’t you get a little seasonal with this, man? So I said CHALLENGE ACCEPTED. Not that it’s hard to create a seasonal cocktail drink recipe, but I took it a step further and made it extremely diabetic-friendly by incorporating Sweet’N Low instead of table sugar. So here is my delicious contribution to the land of thirst-quenching goodness: the Cranberry Mojito!

Start the night off right with this amazing Cranberry Mojito!When it comes to this drink, you want to cook your cranberries first. They just don’t work very well in their natural, fresh state. So I prepped a small pot with a little water and Sweet’N Low, then brought it up to a rolling boil.

Start the night off right with this amazing Cranberry Mojito!Then I added the cranberries, brought it back to boiling, reduced the heat, and let it cook for about 5-7 minutes. I wanted the cranberries to soften and break down, but not turn completely to mush. I popped them in the fridge to cool them back down, since putting hot cranberries in a cold drink is a little bit counter-productive, know what I mean?

Start the night off right with this amazing Cranberry Mojito!Go ahead and have a taste of those berries. They are delicious and sweet, thanks to Sweet’N Low!

To prepare the drink I start with the juice of half a lime and several mint leaves. I add a couple pieces of ice and then muddle the mint to release the oils and flavor. Add a few teaspoons of the cranberry mixture, then top with ice and add your rum and club soda!

The nice thing about club soda is that is has zero sugars, unlike regular lemon-lime sodas. The sweetness in the drink is derived from the lime juice and the cranberry mixture made with Sweet’N Low.
