Getting tropical as we head into summer with this fun and easy Strawberry Mojito recipe. White rum mixed with fresh strawberries, plenty of fresh lime juice, and mint. This mojito receives an extra special touch with a top off of ginger beer for a fizzy, gingery kick. Itโs colorful, refreshing, and a wonderful cocktail recipe for summer. A sweet lime-sugar-rimmed glass really seals the deal and keeps everyone coming back for seconds.

Iโm kicking off summer with our first summery cocktail of the season. Yโall, I am so excited. Funny enough I made this way before heading to Miami. But I loved that mojitos were so popular there. The Cuban influence on food and drinks in Miami is so fun!
Iโve always loved a classic mojito, but aside from these Creamy Coconut Lime Mojitos (which you really need to try), I havenโt made very many. I figured this would be a fun strawberry mojito cocktail to kick off our Summer Cocktail Saturday series.
As always, these posts are meant to be short and to the point!
So here are the details
Mojitos are simple, even when strawberries are added. Make the lime sugar first, itโs literally just sugar and lime zest. So simple, but the sugared rim adds a sweet, sparkly touch to your glasses.
Next, make the mojito! Using a muddler, muddle lime slices with fresh strawberries and lots of mint. Shake everything up with some white rum and strain it into your glass.
I always add crushed ice and additional mint. Then top off each mojito with ginger beer for a spicy, ginger kick. Club soda would also be great.
Perfection in its sweetest form!

Made them for the family – alcohol for us and the adult kids, mocktail for the younger son. They were a really fun treat. Hubby preferred a little simple syrup in his. Thank you!
Hey Kendra,
Awesome! Love to hear this recipe was enjoyed, I appreciate you making it! Have a great Monday!!
