How to Make Red Eye Mojito

  1. Gently muddle 6 fresh mint leaves with 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar in a tall glass. Don't over-muddle; you want to release the mint's aroma, not pulverize it.
  2. Add 2 ounces of tart cherry juice, 1 ounce of fresh lime juice, and 2 ounces of white rum to the glass.
  3. Fill the glass with ice.
  4. Stir gently to combine.
  5. Top with 3 ounces of soda water.
  6. Garnish with a few extra mint sprigs and a cherry (optional).
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy!
