This Cherry Lime Mojito is the perfect summer cocktail! It's refreshing, slightly sweet, and packed with delicious cherry and lime flavors. The addition of fresh mint gives it an extra boost of freshness, making it the ultimate drink to cool off with on a hot day. Not only does it taste amazing, but it also looks gorgeous with its vibrant red and green colors. It's sure to impress your guests at your next summer gathering.

This mojito is a fun twist on the classic Cuban cocktail, which traditionally consists of white rum, sugar, lime juice, soda water, and mint. In this version, we're adding cherries to the mix, giving it a delightful fruity twist. It's easy to make and can be customized to your taste preferences. You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less sugar, and if you prefer a stronger drink, simply add a bit more rum.

Whether you're hosting a backyard barbecue, pool party, or just enjoying a quiet evening at home, this Cherry Lime Mojito is sure to hit the spot. It's a fun and flavorful way to enjoy the taste of summer. So, grab some fresh cherries and limes, and let's get mixing!
