This recipe takes the summery mojito and transforms it into the perfect holiday cocktail. The Prosecco which replaces the soda water adds a different tart element to the drink which is delightful. I like to garnish the drink with some fresh or frozen cranberries which with the green mint leaves makes me think of all things Christmas.
This is another recipe inspired by the holiday issue of the Food & Drink magazine.
