Description
A refreshing twist on the classic mojito, combining mint, lime, and sweet strawberries.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lime wedge
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 3–4 fresh mint leaves (+ more for garnish)
- 2 large strawberries (stems removed)
- 1 oz white rum
- 1.5 tablespoons lime juice
- 1.5 tablespoons simple syrup
- Ice cubes
- Splash of tonic water
Instructions
- Take the lime wedge and rub it around the rim of a glass. Put the granulated sugar on a small plate, turn the glass upside down, and rub the rim into the sugar. Turn the glass back over and set it down.
- Add the mint leaves to the glass. Use a cocktail muddler to muddle the mint leaves gently. Cut 1 strawberry into small chunks, add it to the glass, and muddle together. Add ice on top of the muddled mint and strawberry, then set aside.
- Take a small blender or food processor and add the other large strawberry, 1 oz of rum, 1.5 tablespoons lime juice, and 1.5 tablespoons simple syrup. Blend until smooth. Pour this mixture over the ice.
- Top off the drink with a splash of tonic water and garnish with fresh mint and a sliced strawberry.
Notes
Best enjoyed fresh, but the blended strawberry mixture can be prepared in advance. Adjust sweetness to your taste.
