Strawberry Mojito Ingredients

  • White rum – This is traditionally used in mojitos (also called light or silver rum). This is a clear spirit that’s slightly sweet and is found in a lot of fruity cocktails.
  • Lime juice – Tart and citrusy to balance the sweetness.
  • Fresh mint leaves – These are muddled to release the flavor.
  • Club soda – A simple mixer to add liquid and sparkle!
  • Strawberry Simple Syrup – This is used instead of regular sugar! It blends easily with the other ingredients and adds juicy goodness. Don’t forget to make it in advance and store it in the refrigerator so it’s ready when you need it!

What does it mean to muddle something?

This technique is often used in making craft cocktails. Basically, it means mashing up ingredients (like herbs, berries, or fruit) to release the flavor.
You can either use a bartending muddling tool, a mortar and pestle, or a wooden spoon handle!
