Spiced Cherry Mojito

This mojito has been my jam for the last several weeks. The cherries bring a bold sweetness to counter the bite of the jalapeno. This cocktail is perfect for drinks with friends because there’s a bit of a presentation that goes with it. If you make this cocktail at your next gathering your friends will most definitely be impressed. I’ve provided the written instructions and a video tutorial below.

Remember the jalapeno simple syrup from the summer? We are going to use that simple syrup for this cocktail.
