Festive, fun and delicious, these beautiful Cranberry Mojitos are perfect for your holiday parties!

These Cranberry Mojitos are fun, festive and perfect all year long! Sugar Free Option too

‘Tis the season for lots of cocktails and treats, right?  Sigh….

Over the next month, we will be attending holidays gatherings with lots of fun drinks and tasty treats, people will be baking (I know I will!) and many will have less time to exercise.

Do you know that the some people can gain between 7 and 10 pounds between Thanksgiving and Christmas?  So what does that mean?  No cookies or fun cocktails? No way.

That’s why I’m here!  To share lightened up treats and cocktails so that you can still enjoy yourself during the holidays without gaining that extra weight!  I think I am still in denial that Thanksgiving is already next week.  Time is really flying…

I made these mojitos two ways, one with unrefined sugar and the other completely sugar free.  You can choose which way you want to make them, but either way, they were delicious!

  1. Hi Lauren, This cocktail is supremely delicious. Next time around I would use enough sugar to grind the mint and double the water. Will be making this again. Thanks a lot for sharing this recipe. 🙂

  11. These are so fun and festive! I love that you included a sugar-free version. And is it bad that I think 7-10 pounds sounds reasonable? I’m going to the US for 3 weeks in December and I’ll be so thankful if I can stay under a 10-pound gain. 😀
