It’s Wednesday! Time for another cocktail recipe! I usually stay in the kitchen and pass the bartending duties off to someone else, but recently I have traded in my wooden spoon for a cocktail stirrer!
We have been having some amazing and warm weather here on the West Coast. To celebrate the summer-like temperatures, I made fresh strawberry and mint mojitos! They are so refreshing and cool, perfect for a hot summer evening outside!
Mojitos remind me of summer. I think they are the unofficial drink of summer! Plus, this time of year, the mint plants in my garden are overgrowing! I added some strawberries for bright color and a bit of fruity flavor. Delish! Serve in cute jelly jars for a rustic presentation!
Strawberry Mojitos
Ingredients:
- 10 mint leaves
- 2 large strawberries
- 1/4 cup (2 ounces) light rum, such as Barcardi
- 1/2 cup club soda
- juice of half a lime
- 1/2 teaspoon agave syrup
- Extra mint leaves and strawberries for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- In a tall glass, muddle the mint leaves and strawberries until the mint is fragrant and the strawberries are broken into pieces. Stir in the light rum, club soda, juice of half a lime, and agave syrup. Add a few ice cubes to the glass. Garnish with extra mint leaves and a strawberry.

YUm! We love to make mojitos… but strawberry? I must give this a try soon!
Thanks Katie! I love the addition of the strawberry, I think you’ll love it too!
Mojito is my favourite drink. Now, as the strawberry season has just started, I’ll do your version.
Strawberries are super sweet and juicy right now! Enjoy!
Mmmm, mojitos! I just posted a recipe on my blog for cucumber gin mojitos which I’ve been loving lately. A strawberry version sounds really good as well, I’ll have to give it a try. Thanks for the recipe!
Thanks Katie! I have cucumbers and gin ~ I’ll have to try your recipe! Sounds tasty!
Yum! So far this summer, I’ve been sticking to sangria, but I think I need to give this a try!
Yumm! I’ll have to pick up some strawberries at the store today! (My downstairs neighbors grow a ton of mint. Lucky me!) Thanks, Elmers! <3 H
That looks so good!!! I could go for one of those right now!!
