A Cranberry Mojito Mocktail is the perfect way to enjoy a holiday drink with absolutely no alcohol. With cranberry juice it’s a classic mojito dressed up for the holidays!

We love mocktail mojitos – the lime and mint is such a delicious combination. This Cranberry Mojito is the non-alcoholic holiday version of our favorite! Cranberries are a super popular flavor for Thanksgiving and Christmas so it was a no brainer to add it to our favorite drink. Make Virgin Cranberry Mojitos for your holiday party – you won’t even miss the vodka. We also make a Blackberry Mojito Mocktail that is a must-try!

A bottle of Sprite and a bottle of Ocean Spray cranberry juice are on a counter, surrounded by fresh cranberries, a halved lime, a small bowl of sugar, and sprigs of mint. A white tiled wall serves as the background.

Ingredients Needed

Juice: I used both cranberry juice and lime juice to get the perfect flavor.
Sugar: A little granulated sugar gives the perfect amount of sweetness, but you can also add some simple syrup on top of that if you want an extra sweet drink.
Soda: For the base of this cocktail, I used club soda, but if you want to use a lemon-lime soda, like sprite, that is delicious too!
Mint Leaves: I like to crush fresh mint leaves in the bottom of the glass to add the strong and delicious taste as well.

Expert Tips

If you use lemon-lime soda instead of club soda, you may not need to add any simple syrup because lemon-lime sodas bring in some sugar. That said, it’s all up to your personal taste!
Get a muddler to help crush the mint. It works very well, and produces the best flavor.
I like adding lime wedges onto the rim of the glass, or topping the drink with more mint leaves.
You may use fresh lime juice if you have it. Store-bought works perfectly fine too.
