Cranberry-mint syrup

1 cup water
¼ cup cranberries
2 sprigs mint

For the mojito

11 mint leaves, plus more to garnish
3 lime wedges
3 tbsp cranberry-mint syrup
1 cup cranberry-pomegranate juice
¼ cup lime juice
6 oz light rum
3 cups ice cubes
1 cup ginger ale
cranberries, to garnish
pomegranate arils, to garnish
lime slices, to garnish
2–3 Richberry halves

How to Make It

Make the syrup
Bring the water to the boil in a small saucepan. Add the cranberries, lower the heat, cover and simmer for about 5 minutes. Turn off the heat, add the mint sprigs, then chill in the fridge and strain.
Muddle
In a jug or tall glass, muddle the mint leaves, lime wedges and 3 tbsp of the syrup.
Mix and top
Stir in the cranberry-pomegranate juice, lime juice and rum. Add the ice, top with the ginger ale and stir again.
Garnish
Garnish with mint, cranberries, pomegranate arils and lime slices.
Add the Richberry twist
Just before your first sip, chew 2–3 Richberry halves gently and let them linger for about 30 seconds. Discard any pit, then taste how the sour notes turn sweet.

Richberry changes the taste, not the drink: a cocktail may taste softer, but it is just as strong. Please enjoy it responsibly.
