Jump to Recipe

I recently discovered the Strawberry Mojito With Fresh Strawberries and it quickly became one of my go-to summer cocktails. This recipe is all about celebrating the season and mixing up flavors that really pop.

I start by gently muddling 6 hulled fresh strawberries along with 10 mint leaves until they get all juicy and fragrant. Then I squeeze 1 lime for its zesty kick and sweeten it up with a bit of sugar or simple syrup.

Next comes 2 oz white rum that brings the whole drink together, and of course, you never forget a pile of crushed ice and a splash of club soda to finish it off. This cocktail may remind you of similar creations like a strawberry twist on a classic mojito or even come close to a fun twist on virgin versions like a Sprite-based mocktail.

Its fresh, bold flavors have definitely earned a spot on my list of favorite strawberry cocktails. Enjoy making it and cheers to summer!

Why I Like this Recipe

I love this recipe because it’s super refreshing, easy to tweak to my taste, and it always makes me feel like I’m on a mini summer vacation even on the gloomiest day.

Here’s how I make it: First, I grab 6 fresh hulled strawberries (about 1 cup when sliced) and 2 teaspoons of sugar (or 1 oz simple syrup if I’m feeling fancy) and toss them into a sturdy glass. I muddle them up real good until they’re pretty well mashed. Then, I add in 10 mint leaves and squeeze in the juice of 1 lime (around 2 tablespoons). I give it a gentle muddle so all the flavors mix without ripping up the mint too much.

Next, I fill the glass halfway with crushed ice and pour in 2 oz of white rum. If I want a stronger kick, I don’t mind adding a bit more. I top it off with club soda until the glass is almost full and stir everything together carefully so the muddled fruits, mint, rum, and ice all blend nicely. I always taste it and if I feel like it needs a little more sugar or another splash of lime, I adjust it until it feels right. Finally, I garnish with a few extra mint leaves for that extra pop of freshness and give it one last stir before enjoying my strawberry mojito.

Strawberry Mojito With Fresh Strawberries! Recipe Substitutions and Variations

Fresh strawberries can be replaced with thawed frozen ones if you’re short on the fresh stuff
If you dont have mint leaves, basil leaves can work, though they’ll give your mojito a slightly different flavor
No lime? Try using lemon juice in a pinch, it still gives a good citrus kick
You can swap sugar or simple syrup with honey or agave nectar for a natural sweetener
White rum can sometimes be replaced with tequila or even coconut rum if you want to mix things up

Pro Tips

1. Be sure to gently muddle the mint leaves so you don’t crush ’em too much – otherwise the drink might taste bitter.
2. If your lime juice is too tart, you can start with a little extra sugar or simple syrup and then adjust as you go.
3. Using crushed ice that’s not too fine helps blend all the flavors better; bigger chunks keep the drink from just turning into watery mush.
4. For extra flavor, try adding a little more rum if you like it strong but always taste it first so you don’t overpower the fresh strawberry and mint vibes.
