Strawberry Mojito Recipe
One of our favourite drinks on a hot summer day is a good mojito. Sugar, mint, rum and lime - it's heaven in a glass. The mojito is practically a perfect drink in every way, so what could possibly make it better? A little seasonal fruit, like strawberries! Sweet seasonal strawberries, like the ones available now, are perfect for this refreshing Strawberry Mojito recipe, as they are an excellent accompaniment to a mojito's sweet, sour, minty flavour.
Whether you’re impressing guests, organising date night or hosting a fun-filled girls night, our Strawberry Mojitos are the definition of a crowd pleaser. We recommend using Bacardi but any white rum will do. White rum is clear, like vodka, and has a subtle, sweet flavour. It appears in a lot of classic summer cocktails that we know and love.
We recommend the following tools if you're going to make a mojito. You can do without them, but they'll make the job a lot easier and faster, and will probably come in handy for other cocktails too! First, a muddler, which can be made from wood, metal, or rubber. When you use a muddler to smash fruits and herbs, it brings out their flavour. You can use the back of a spoon to do the job, but when it comes to cocktails like mojitos a muddler really is best. Second, a citrus juicer may also come in handy for this recipe. If not, shop bought juice will be fine too.
