Now that the warm weather is here, there are certain cocktails that I can’t wait to sit and sip on the patio with – margaritas, moscow mules, gin & tonics, and of course mojitos.
Which is why both my traditional mojito recipe and my creamy coconut mojitos have been on repeat at our house lately.
And today I’m here with another fun twist on the classic mojito recipe.
It’s like a strawberry daiquiri and mojito in one. And it’s so delicious…
Strawberry Mojitos!
Ingredients needed
- Rum: White rum or silver rum
- Fresh Lime Juice
- Fresh Mint
- Fresh Strawberries – This recipe is also delicious with blueberries, blackberries or raspberries.
- Club Soda
- Simple Syrup
What is the best rum for a Mojito?
Use light rum in this easy mojito recipe (also called silver rum or white rum). Since rum is the only alcohol in the drink, you want to be sure to use a rum that you love. However, this is also not the time to reach for your most expensive bottle of rum, since its flavor will become diluted.
Here are some of the rums for a Mojito, that come in at under $30 a bottle:
- Bacardi Silver
- Mount Gay Eclipse Silver Rum
- Cruzan Aged White Rum
- Havana Club Anejo Blanco Puerto Rican Rum
Tools needed
- Cocktail Shaker
- Cocktail Muddler (or use the handle of a wooden spoon)
- Highball Glasses
- Straws
How to make it
- Muddle the strawberries, mint and simple syrup. Add strawberries, mint and simple syrup to a tall glass and use a muddler (or the back of a wooden spoon) to gently muddle.
- Add ice, rum, and lime juice.
- Top with club soda.
- Garnish with fresh mint and a lime wheel, if desired.
- Serve.

I think the simple syrup is missing from the ingredient list(how much should I use?)
Gosh! I’m so sorry about that Jaimy. You’re right! I just revised the recipe card to correct that. There should be 1/2 ounce simple syrup.
