This strawberry mojito recipe makes the perfect drink for a hot summer day! I had this drink at a popular chain restaurant and decided to try it at home. I have served it at several different gatherings, and it has always been given rave reviews.
Prep time 15 mins
Servings 8
Ingredients
* 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
Directions
1. Pour about 1/2 inch of sugar onto a small, shallow plate. Run a lime wedge around the rims of 8 cocktail glasses, then dip the rims into sugar to coat; set aside.
2. Squeeze all of the lime wedges into a sturdy glass pitcher. Toss juiced limes into the pitcher along with mint, strawberries, and 1 cup sugar. Crush with a muddler to release strawberry juice and mint oil. Stir in club soda and rum until sugar has dissolved.
3. Pour into the prepared glasses over ice cubes to serve.
Tip decorate rim of glass with sugar crystals and add in a mint stick for pizzazz.
Alternative recipe
I made a simple syrup out of 1/2 cup sugar, 1 1/2 cups lemon juice and 2 cups mashed strawberries – brought that to a boil, simmered for 3 minutes, removed from heat and strained through a cheesecloth and let cool. NOW…add 2 tbsp of the strawberry syrup to a glass, then add your mint and lime, muddle, add 1 shot of rum, top with Club Soda and ice cubes…and voila! Delish! 🙂
