Easy Strawberry Mojito Recipe

It’s always great to have a classic mojito to drink but when the weather is perfectly warm and fresh strawberries are in season, switch it up and make this strawberry mojito! This super refreshing strawberry mojito is a wonderful balance of rum, bright lime, fresh mint and sweet strawberries. It’s a fantastic celebration drink to share with friends and family to ring in the warm season upon us and of course, this mojito is the perfect Summer party drink. You can mix individual glasses for small groups if you like, but if you’re having a larger group together, definitely make a pitcher version! This mojito recipe with strawberries is very easy to duplicate to larger groups and make a bigger batch in a pitcher.

Customize this Strawberry Mojito

Adjust the taste before serving to make sure it’s perfect for the whole group. Change the amount of fresh lime juice, amount of berries, mint and of course, the amount of alcohol you feel is perfect to your personal taste. Everyone will be happy to toast with these beautifully colored and garnished mojitos. The level of sweetness can vary too. It’s best to make a first test batch, taste or sip then adjust the ratios of the ingredients. We find it is best to start with a little less sugar, and then add a bit more if needed after you taste it.

Different type of fruit mojitos

There’s lots of options to add variety to this popular drink. If you don’t have different varieties of strawberries, then there’s other fruit inspiration for your mojito cocktail. The possibilities are endless! Just replace the strawberries by muddling other types of fruit:

  • kiwi – we love the beauty of kiwi muddled in margaritas. And they work just as good in a mojito. You can use green or golden kiwi.
  • pineapple, mango or passionfruit – these tropical flavors are always great.
  • blackberries, blueberries, raspberries: muddled berries are fantastic and it doesn’t take much to make the cocktail unique and flavorful.
  • pomegranate – this is great for Fall or holiday drinks!
  • cherries and other stone fruits: looking for a Summer inspired drink? use seasonal stone fruits that are ripe and ready.

Strawberry Mojito

Yield: 1 cocktail
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 5 minutes
The simple syrup recipe in the Notes is for a larger batch of simple syrup to keep on hand. It keeps for months in the fridge if you store it in a clean container. If you don’t want to make the simple syrup (although it always great to have on hand) you can muddle in about 1 tablespoon (or to taste) of sugar instead.
