After the wild ride of this year, it feels like we could all use a tropical vacation... To get in to the festive spirit, we'd love to cheers you an invigorating Cranberry Mojito while the lights twinkle and Michael Buble (Bublé? :) croons our favourite holiday tunes. This cocktail uses ingredients available in most kitchens during the festive season, making it a quick, cheap and easy way to impress guests or treat yourself after (or before) a long day of making lists, checking them twice and then battling the rest of the last-minute shoppers in the slush-covered streets of Vancouver...(anyone else?)
This cocktail is also ideal to pre-make in a pinch in large batches for holiday parties. Mix it up in a large transparent bowl or pitcher for the most gorgeous and festive table centrepiece!
See the recipe below for our refreshing holiday twist on a warm vacation classic.
