  • 5 mint leaves
  • 1/2 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1/2 oz cranberry simple syrup
  • 1/2 oz rum
  • Seltzer water

Instructions

  1. In a medium-sized saucepot, combine fresh cranberries, sugar, and water.
  2. Heat the mixture over medium heat, allowing it to simmer for about 10 minutes without boiling or allowing the cranberries to burst.
