Cold, fizzy, and fruity with a hint of mint! A strawberry mojito is a twist on a classic mojito recipe that is a great drink for the summer. Who doesn’t love a refreshing cocktail on a warm day?

I’ve had so much fun making mojitos – once you know how to make the basic drink which is a combination of fresh mint, lime juice, rum, sugar, and club soda, there are many variations you can try. Another one I love is a blackberry mojito, but today I’m adding fresh strawberries. It’s delicious!

You Will Love This Easy Drink!

I love making mojitos because it’s an easy drink to make for one or two people. You don’t need a bunch of different alcohols or mixers, and the flavor is so fresh and refreshing!

You don’t need any fancy equipment either! Mixing this drink is so, so easy.

It’s perfect for sipping on the porch or deck when it’s warm. If you’ve never tried a strawberry mojito you are in for a treat!

Ingredients

• Sliced strawberries – It’s best to use fresh ones, but you can substitute thawed strawberries.
• Fresh mint leaves
• Lime wedges – You will need some for the drink and a few for garnishing the drink.
• White sugar – You can also use simple syrup.
• Ice cubes
• White rum – pick your favorite brand! White or clear rum is best for this drink.
• Club soda – If you want a little fizz use a lemon lime soda to mix it up, but club soda is the traditional option.

How to Make It

Place the strawberries and mint in a glass. Use the muddler to crush them.

Squeeze the lim juice into the glass and add the sugar. Muddle the ingredients again.

Top the muddled strawberries and mint with ice cube. I like to almost fill the glass with ice.

Pour the rum over the ice and then top the drink off with club soda.

Add ice, filling the glass almost to the top. Pour the rum over the ice, and then top off with club soda.

Give the drink a taste and add more sugar if you like it sweeter. Garnish the rim of the glass with a lime wedge and small strawberry.
