Why You Will Love This Recipe
This drink is simple and refreshing, and a great way to enjoy strawberries!
I find mojitos to taste lighter than many other flavored cocktails since the mint and fruit lift them up.
They only take a moment to make and can easily be modified! See under the recipe card for more of our mojito recipes.
Ingredients
What is a strawberry mojito made of? Here is what you need:
- White Rum
- Strawberries
- Fresh Mint
- Limes
- Club Soda
- Simple Syrup
Mint – How much mint goes in a mojito? I recommend using at least 6 larger mint leaves. We tend to use more since we love a good, strong mint flavor – closer to 8-10 large leaves.
Instruction Overview
Put your strawberries, mint, lime juice, and simple syrup in a cocktail shaker.
Muddle (mash them all up) to release the flavors.
Add the rum and a big scoop of ice. Shake until super cold.
Strain into a glass of ice and top with club soda.

Modifications and Substitutions
Club Soda – Can you substitute Sprite for club soda in mojito? Absolutely! They will both bring bubbles to the drink. A lemon lime soda will be sweeter overall.
Strawberries – Both fresh and frozen will work great! If using frozen, just let them sit out for a few minutes to be soft enough to mash.
Simple Syrup – Simple syrup is made by heating one part water and one part sugar in a pot on the stove over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved. Instead, you could also use 1 teaspoon of sugar per drink however it will not be as sweet.
