Strawberry Mojito Ingredients

Ingredients for making strawberry mojitos with overlay text.

Strawberries – Fresh are best, but you can also use frozen strawberries that have been thawed.
Simple syrup – A simple blend of sugar and water that has been heated on the stovetop to dissolve the sugar to form a syrup. You can purchase this syrup in the cocktail mixer aisle of the grocery store or easily make your own homemade simple syrup.
Lime juice – Fresh is best, but you can also use bottled lime juice.
Fresh mint leaves
Club soda
White rum

How to Prepare

Strawberries, mint leaves, syrup and lime juice being muddled in a cocktail shaker.

Step 1: Muddle the strawberries and mint leaves in simple syrup and lime juice using a muddler in a cocktail shaker. This releases the juices from the strawberries and oils from the mint leaves.

Step 2: Pour equal amounts of the strawberry mixture in 2 glasses over ice. Add ¼ cup of rum to each glass and top each glass with club soda.

Step 3: Garnish glasses with a fresh strawberry, lime wheel and/or mint sprig, if desired. While garnishing isn’t technically necessary, it’s such a beautiful presentation!

Helpful Tips

If you don’t have a muddler, use the back of a large wooden spoon.
If you don’t have a cocktail shaker, you can use a large glass… just be sure it is a very sturdy glass with a sturdy bottom so that it doesn’t break while muddling.
