A light and refreshing Strawberry Mojito recipe that is easy to make and perfect for hot summer days by the lake or pool!
Ingredients
- 1 lime wedge
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 3-4 fresh mint leaves + more for garnish
- 2 large strawberries stems removed
- 1 oz white rum
- 1.5 tablespoons lime juice
- 1.5 tablespoons simple syrup

Instructions
- Sugar Rim: Take lime wedge and rub around the rim of a glass. Put the granulated sugar on a small plate and turn the glass upside down and rub into the sugar. Turn back over and set down.
- Muddle: Add mint leaves to glass. Use a cocktail muddler to muddle the mint leaves. Cut 1 strawberry into small chunks, add to the glass and muddle as well. Add ice on top of the muddled mint and strawberry. Set aside.
- Blend: Take a small blender or food processor and add the other large strawberry, 1oz rum, 1.5 tablespoons lime juice and 1.5 tablespoons simple syrup. Blend until smooth. Pour over the ice.
- Tonic Water + Serve: Top off with some tonic water and garnish with fresh mint and a sliced strawberry.
Notes
- Lime Juice: feel free to use fresh lime juice, bottled lime juice or key lime juice.
- Tonic Water: option to use a sparkling water or soda water - we tested all the options & tonic water resulted in the best tasting mojito.
- Double: feel free to double or triple the recipe to make larger batches.
