What is a strawberry mojito?

A strawberry mojito is a rum cocktail recipe made with white rum, fresh strawberries, fresh mint, and simple syrup.

They are a refreshing cocktail whipped up in less than 10 minutes!

Ingredients You Need

• Strawberries: fresh strawberries are a must!
• Mint: muddled mint is so fragrant and refreshing.
• Club Soda: club soda is used as a topper.

What can I use instead of white rum?

Don’t have white rum! Try this cocktail with one of the following liquors instead:
