We turned our favorite summer mojito into a festive holiday cocktail. This cranberry mojito recipe is classy enough to serve company and easy enough to make for a weekend happy hour.

Simply muddle then mix your way to happy! We opted for key limes, which are more tart, and light rum but you can also use regular limes if key limes are not available.

If you’re watching your waistline, reduce the calories by using a low-calorie cranberry juice and omit the sugar. We promise, this cocktail will taste just as yummy only sans the guilt!
