Classic mojitos have a light, fresh flavor and don’t taste strongly of alcohol which can make them more enjoyable to drink, for some.

This Strawberry Mojito recipe uses all of the same ingredients as a traditional Cuban mojito, including rum, club soda, fresh mint, and freshly squeezed limes, but the simple syrup is replaced with fresh strawberries and simple syrup or sugar, if needed. 

It is the perfect summer cocktail, and even better if you’re lucky enough to have super sweet, home grown strawberries to use!

Why This Recipe Works

It’s a simple adaptation of the very popular Mojito cocktail with a fruitier flavor.

This recipe only needs 5 ingredients – strawberries, mint, limes, rum, and club soda. If you need your drink to be a little sweeter, you can also add sugar or simply syrup.

You can make this cocktail in just minutes. The recipe can also easily be increased when serving a crowd.

• 3-5 leaves fresh mint
• 2 ounces white rum
• 1 tablespoon fresh squeezed lime juice (about 1/2 of a lime)

• 1 teaspoon granulated sugar (optional): you may or may not want to add sugar or simple syrup depending on how sweet your strawberries are. 

  The entire recipe and instructions can also be found in the recipe card at the bottom of this post. You can also print the recipe from the card, if needed.

Prep!

The only prep work for this recipe is to chop the strawberries into small pieces.

Create!

Place the strawberries and mint leaves into the bottom of a glass. Crush the strawberries and mint leaves together with a muddler.

FAQ’s

Do Mojitos Have A Strong Alcohol Taste?

Mojitos are made with rum but only have a light alcohol flavor that can be drowned out even more by a slight increase in the amount of club soda used.
