Cherry Mojitos

This is a sweet refreshing drink, perfect for the hot weather we're having around here! These are easy to drink quickly so be careful!


Ingredients

  • 1 C. sugar
  • 1 C. water
  • 1/2 C. mint leaves
  • zest of 2 limes
  • juice of 2 limes
  • 1.5 cups of cherries, pitted and chopped
  • 1 C. white rum
  • 16 oz. club soda
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the sugar, water, mint, and lime zest. Simmer until the sugar dissolves and a syrup is formed. Cool slightly. Fill a large pitcher halfway with ice. Add the lime juice, cherries, rum, and syrup. Stir to combine. Add the club soda just before serving.
