Refreshing Strawberry Mojito Recipe: A Fresh Twist on a Classic Cocktail

Nothing screams summer quite like a refreshing Strawberry Mojito. This vibrant, fruity cocktail combines the classic taste of a mojito with the sweet, juicy flavors of fresh strawberries. Whether you’re lounging by the pool or hosting an alfresco dinner party, this Strawberry Mojito is sure to impress. Let’s dive into how you can easily recreate this delightful drink at home.

Ingredients You’ll Need

• ¼ cup sliced strawberries: About 2 large strawberries, preferably fresh, for the best flavor.
• 4 large fresh mint leaves: Fresh mint is key to achieving that classic mojito aroma and taste.
• 2 ounces white rum: Provides the base spirit for this cocktail, lending a smooth, light flavor.
• 1 teaspoon granulated sugar: Adjust to taste for the perfect level of sweetness.
• Club soda: To top up the drink and give it a refreshing fizz.

Instructions

1. Muddle the Ingredients: In a highball glass, combine the sliced strawberries, fresh mint leaves, white rum, and granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a large wooden spoon to gently muddle the mixture. This process releases the strawberry juices and dissolves the sugar, creating a flavorful base. Be careful not to over-muddle the mint, as it can become bitter and lose its vibrant green color.

2. Add Club Soda: Fill the glass with club soda to your liking. The fizz adds a refreshing touch that complements the sweet and minty flavors.

3. Garnish and Serve: Garnish your Strawberry Mojito with a sprig of fresh mint and a sliced strawberry. Serve immediately to enjoy the freshest flavors.

4. Becky’s Tips:

   • Fresh strawberries are preferred, but frozen can be used in a pinch. Avoid dried mint; fresh is a must!
   • Experiment with herbs by swapping mint for fresh basil or rosemary for a unique twist.
   • For a tropical flair, replace white rum with coconut rum. Vodka, gin, or tequila can also be used as substitutes.
   • If you have simple syrup on hand, substitute it for sugar by using 1½ teaspoons.
   • If your mojito is too sweet, balance it with a splash of lime juice or Angostura bitters.
   • Consider adding a dark rum floater for a richer, sweeter taste.
