How to Create the ULTIMATE Strawberry Mojito
This strawberry mojito recipe adheres to the classic mojito cocktail method: muddle lime juice with sugar and mint; incorporate rum; finish with club soda, while introducing a fresh, fruity element of juicy summer strawberries.
Presented as a single-serving strawberry mojito, this recipe is straightforward to adjust (similar to the Spicy Margarita recipe). Simply increase the amounts as needed and prepare in a pitcher to create a batch of strawberry mojitos for a larger gathering. Another popular cocktail among crowds is this White Sangria.
The Ingredients
Strawberries. The inherent sweetness of the berries reduces the amount of sugar required in the recipe. According to my cocktail calculations, this categorizes strawberry mojitos as a healthful option. Enjoy!
Market Swap
Strawberries are my preferred choice for this recipe due to their delightful pairing with the cool, refreshing mint. Nevertheless, raspberries, blueberries, or blackberries can easily be substituted or added for an exciting fruity variation. Alternatively, consider a combination!
Mint. A crucial component in any mojito recipe (and Whiskey Smash). It is cool, refreshing, and aromatic.

Sugar. Extracts the juices from the strawberries, enhancing their natural flavor, and provides just the right amount of sweetness to balance the rum.
Lime. Contributes the ideal tang (similar to this Italian Margarita) and harmonizes the sweetness of the strawberries with the sharpness of the mint.
Rum. For a strawberry mojito, I prefer using silver or white rum. It is lighter than dark rums and has a cleaner, less sweet profile, making it the best match for fruity, sweet strawberries. (There’s no need to overspend; any mid-range rum will suffice).
Club Soda. Provides the perfect fizzy finish. (Also utilized to top off these simple Peach Margaritas.)
Substitution Tip
Any carbonated beverage will work here. If club soda is not to your liking, you can finish off this easy strawberry mojito recipe with a splash of tonic water, sparkling water, or even create a strawberry mojito using Sprite (or another lemon-lime soda).

About this mojito
Today’s cocktail embodies the essence of vacation vibes… It’s a traditional mojito!
I have always had a fondness for a well-made mojito, particularly during my college years. Once I turned 21, I experienced my first mojito, and I was instantly captivated. Many summers were spent lounging on a patio beneath clear blue skies and the warm sun, savoring a fresh mojito.
What makes a mojito truly exceptional?
It lies in the harmonious combination of Bacardi rum (the original mojito creator), zesty fresh limes, simple syrup, and refreshing mint leaves. A splash of soda water transforms it into a drink that is crisp, invigorating, effervescent, and not overly sweet.
Mojitos are incredibly simple to prepare, even when entertaining a yard full of guests. Moreover, they are a timeless classic! Create a little mojito station with rum, lime wedges, mint sprigs, and simple syrup. Allow everyone to muddle their own mint and lime – it’s engaging, enjoyable, and alleviates the pressure from you (which, as you know, is always my aim in life). The fresh mint fragrance will envelop your entire patio, creating a tropical paradise atmosphere at any time of day.
Highball cocktail featuring white rum, mint, and lime.
Do I need to use Bacardi as the base spirit?
No, you are not required to use Bacardi! While Bacardi rum is the traditional selection for an authentic mojito – having been produced in Cuba since 1862 and essentially establishing the real mojito – it’s your gathering, so the choice is yours.
Any quality white rum will suffice for this recipe. You could even experiment with various types of rum:
Cuban rums (if accessible) for complete authenticity
Puerto Rican rums for a similar light-bodied experience
Jamaican rums for a more distinctive flavor
Coconut rum if you desire an extra tropical twist.
The essential aspect is to discover a spirit that harmonizes well with lime and mint without overshadowing them. Therefore, feel free to explore your liquor cabinet or experiment with something new. Once you experience a mojito, it will undoubtedly become your favorite among all the rum cocktails you have sampled!
Ingredients for a Bacardi Mojito
Ingredients
Rum. Opt for a high-quality white rum to achieve a classic mojito blend. As previously mentioned, you can alter the type of rum to create a different flavor profile for the mojito.
Lime. Fresh limes are crucial for crafting the finest mojito possible. The use of fresh lime juice is simply superior!
Mint. Only fresh mint leaves will provide the most flavorful cocktail! Ensure you have some extra sprigs for garnishing purposes.
Simple Syrup. You can either purchase simple syrup at your local liquor or grocery store, but the optimal choice is to prepare it at home. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to make simple syrup so you can create it yourself. Alternatively, you could use sugarcane molasses for a unique sweet flavor in the cocktail!
Club Soda. Effervescent and light, this is the perfect finishing touch to the cocktail, balancing the other natural flavors.
This recipe’s essentials
You will require a chef’s knife and cutting board to chop the limes.
For the cocktail, utilize a jigger to measure the liquid components. Additionally, you will need a muddler and a bar spoon or cocktail stirring spoon.
We prefer to use highball glasses or any other tall glass since this is a tall cocktail!
Here’s how to prepare a Bacardi Mojito
Muddle
Introduce lime wedges into a highball glass. Add simple syrup. Muddle the lime wedges until they are broken down.
Incorporate mint leaves and gently muddle. You only need to perform a few twists to avoid over-muddling the leaves. Excessive muddling of the fresh mint will result in a bitter flavor.
Assemble
Pour in the rum and fill the glass with ice. Stir the mixture, then top it off with club soda. Give it one final stir, and then garnish with a mint sprig.
Pro Tip: Before adding the mint sprig to the glass as a garnish, give it a gentle slap in your palm. This action will assist the mint leaves in releasing their aromatic fragrance!

Variations:
Enhance with fruit! Incorporate a few fresh strawberries or blueberries to infuse this cocktail with a fruity essence and a berry kick. Alternatively, mango can be added for a distinctive twist!
Opt for a different sweetener. While simple syrup is an option, various flavors of simple syrup will produce different outcomes! Mint simple syrup will amplify the mint flavor. Demerara syrup offers a richer molasses taste. Honey simple syrup imparts a delicate floral sweetness to the beverage.
