Red Mojitos

This spin on a traditional mojito is perfect for summer weather. I love this light and refreshing mint-flavored drink. The cranberry juice adds some sweet and tart flavor notes that makes for a very thirst quinching drink!

We are Mojito drinkers. That is an interesting twist on the regular mojito. I love the red color. Will defintely give it a try.
