Description
A refreshing strawberry mojito made with muddled strawberries, lime, mint, white rum, and club soda. Perfect for summer gatherings, this cocktail is light, fruity, and easy to prepare.
Ingredients
Scale
- White sugar, for rimming
- 2 large limes, quartered
- ½ bunch mint leaves
- 7 strawberries, quartered
- 1 cup white sugar
- 2 cups club soda
- 1 cup white rum
- 8 cups ice cubes
Instructions
- Muddle the Fruit and Syrup: In a sturdy highball glass, add hulled strawberries and lime wedges (cut side up). Pour the sugar over the fruit. Using a muddler or wooden spoon, press down and crush until strawberries are juicy and broken down.
- Gently Muddle the Mint: Add the mint leaves on top of the muddled fruit. Lightly muddle with a few gentle twists. Avoid over-muddling to prevent bitterness.
- Add Rum and Ice: Pour in the white rum and add a handful of ice cubes. Stir well with a bar spoon to chill all ingredients.
- Top with Club Soda: Fill the rest of the glass with chilled club soda. Stir gently to combine.
- Garnish and Serve: Clap a fresh sprig of mint between your hands to release fragrance, then add as garnish. Optionally, add lime slices or fresh strawberries. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For a sweeter drink, add more sugar or simple syrup to taste.
- For a non-alcoholic version, omit the rum and increase the club soda.
- Always muddle mint gently to avoid bitterness.
- Use crushed ice for a more traditional mojito texture.
