Refreshing Strawberry Mint Mojito Recipe
A strawberry twist on the classic Mojito, this Strawberry Mint Mojito is sweet, fresh, and full of vibrant flavors. Perfect for hot days, backyard parties, or just unwinding after a busy week, this drink combines the sweetness of ripe strawberries with the cooling effect of fresh mint and a bit of lime zest.
Ingredients: 
- 5-6 fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
- 10-12 fresh mint leaves
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
- 2 teaspoons sugar (optional, depending on sweetness of the strawberries)
- 2 ounces white rum
- Club soda or sparkling water
- Crushed ice
- Mint sprigs and strawberry slices for garnish
Instructions:
- Muddle the Fresh Ingredients
In a tall glass, add the strawberries, mint leaves, and lime wedges. If you’d like a sweeter drink, add sugar here as well. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush and muddle the ingredients together. This releases all the vibrant flavors of the mint and strawberries. - Add Rum
Pour in white rum over the muddled mixture. The rum adds a smooth, light flavor that pairs beautifully with the freshness of the mint and strawberry. - Add Crushed Ice
Fill your glass with crushed ice, packing it in tightly for that refreshing chill. - Top with Soda Water
Top off your glass with club soda or sparkling water, giving it a nice bubbly texture. Stir gently to combine all the flavors. - Garnish and Serve
Garnish with a few mint sprigs and a couple of strawberry slices. This will not only add to the drink’s visual appeal but also enhance the fresh aromas. - Sip and Enjoy!
Take a moment to enjoy the refreshing burst of flavors. This cocktail is a perfect balance of sweet, minty, and citrusy goodness.
Pro Tips:
- Customize the sweetness: If you like your drink on the sweeter side, adjust the amount of sugar or use a flavored syrup.
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh strawberries and mint make all the difference in a mojito. Their aromas and natural flavors really shine through.
- Add extra fizz: If you like your drinks extra bubbly, add more soda water for a lighter, more effervescent drink.
This Strawberry Mint Mojito is a crowd-pleaser for any summer gathering, and it’s a perfect way to enjoy the best of seasonal berries. The mix of mint, lime, and strawberries feels like a refreshing escape in every sip!
