This rum cocktail is an alternative play on a cosmopolitan. It is light and refreshing and perfect as part of a Mother’s Day brunch or barbecue. The below recipe is for one rum cocktail, but this would make for a great punch and adding a little champagne or some sprite will give it a nice punch also.

Ingredients needed for this Rum Cocktail:

1 1/2 ounces Bacardi or Don Q Limon Rum
1/2 ounce triple sec orange liqueur
1 Tablespoon lime juice
1/2 Tablespoon cranberry juice
Fresh mint leaves for garnish
Lime Cane Sugar for rimming the glass

Preparation

Pour the rum, triple sec, lime juice and cranberry juice into a cocktail shaker with ice.
Shake well.
Strain into chilled cocktail glass.
Garnish with the mint leaf and let it infuse into the drink.

Happy Mother’s Day!
