How to make a cranberry mojito
Place the cranberries, sugar and water in a saucepan over medium heat.
When the water starts to boil, lower the heat to medium low.
Cook the cranberries over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally with a spoon (that won't be stained by the cranberry juice) until the berries start to pop, about 10 minutes.

Remove the berries from the heat and allow the mixture to cool. Strain the berries out of the syrup by pouring the mixture through a sieve into a bowl.
