Yes, there is a variation of a mojito that uses peppermint and cranberry. This cocktail is similar to a traditional mojito, but it uses peppermint schnapps and cranberry juice instead of mint leaves and white rum. To make a peppermint cranberry mojito, you will need the following ingredients:

1 1/2 ounces of peppermint schnapps
2 ounces of cranberry juice
1 lime, cut into wedges
1 tablespoon of sugar
1 cup of ice
Sparkling water
Here is how to make a peppermint cranberry mojito:

In a cocktail shaker, combine the peppermint schnapps, cranberry juice, lime wedges, and sugar.
Using a muddler or a wooden spoon, gently mash the ingredients together to release the flavors of the lime and peppermint.
Fill the cocktail shaker with ice and shake well to combine all the ingredients.
Strain the mixture into a tall glass filled with ice.
Top off the glass with sparkling water and stir to combine.
Garnish the mojito with a few fresh cranberries and a lime wedge, if desired.
This recipe makes one peppermint cranberry mojito, but it can easily be multiplied to make more cocktails. Enjoy!
