This strawberry mojito recipe brings together fresh ingredients for a bright, fruity take on the classic cocktail. It’s quick to mix, super refreshing and ideal for warm weather. Customize it with other berries or make a pitcher to share.
Place mint leaves and strawberries into a sturdy glass. Use a muddler to crush the mint and strawberries to release the mint oils and strawberry juices.
Add juice from 1 or 2 limes wedges and the sugar, and muddle again to release the lime juice. Don't strain the mixture.
Add ice, filling the glass almost to the top. Pour the rum over the ice, and then top off with club soda.
Stir, taste and add more sugar if desired. Garnish with the remaining lime wedge.
Notes
Use ripe strawberries: They’ll give you the best natural sweetness. Do not over-muddle the mint: This can cause bitterness. Chill your glass: Helps keep the drink cool without too much ice dilution.
