Cranberry Mojito Punch
Cranberries are one of my favorite things about the holidays and this Cranberry Mojito Punch just might be my favorite
Usually, that’s through Champagne, like in these Champagne Shirley Temples, but I wasn’t really feeling like champagne for this drink and thought a splash of seltzer or sparkling water was a better idea, although, now I’m thinking Champagne mojitos could be a thing!
I really love the sparkle the seltzer added to this cocktail and it was way more fun than a standard club soda, plus it gives the drink extra flavor!
The zesty lime and tart cranberries are a perfect match in this Cranberry Mojito Punch and the essence of mint just amplifies it to a whole new level!
