Cranberry Mojito

Chef Jeff Leidy won the $25,000 top prize in Ocean Spray's Ultimate Cranberry Recipe Contest with this nonalcoholic cocktail.

Makes 1 serving

• 4 cubes brown sugar
• 10 mint leaves (about 1/4 ounce)
• Juice of 1 lime
• 1/2 ounce sweetened dried cranberries
• 2 cups cubed ice
• 6 ounces cranberry juice cocktail
• 1 sugar cane swizzle stick
• 1 lime wedge
• 1 mint sprig

 

 

Place sugar cubes, mint leaves, lime juice and sweetened dried cranberries in a bar tumbler and begin to crush and blend with a muddling stick. Blend until dried cranberries and mint are minced; sugar will be dissolved. Add ice and cranberry juice. Mix well and pour into a 20-ounce tall glass. Garnish with lime wedge, swizzle stick and mint sprig.
