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. It’s 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.

I’m kicking off summer with our first summery cocktail of the season. Y’all, 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!
I’ve always loved a classic mojito, but aside from these Creamy Coconut Lime Mojitos (which you really need to try), I haven’t 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, it’s 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!

This is a fantastic drink! Sipping it now, and it’s glorious on an almost summer evening! I stuck with the recipe exactly, and it’s perfect. The ginger beer and the zest/sugar rim – yum!
Hey Jamie,
Awesome!! Thanks a lot for giving this recipe a try and sharing your review! Love to hear that it was enjoyed! Have a great weekend!☀️ xx
Loved this recipe! I switched out the ginger beer with a splash of sprite since that’s all I had on hand, but the flavors of the strawberries, lime, and mint are so so wonderful. Very refreshing for summer!

This was fantastic! I did modify a bit based on what I had available. I switched out the rum for vodka and the ginger beer for prosecco and it was summer perfection.

What type of mint? Spearmint or peppermint.
Hey Barb,
Spearmint is great:) I hope you love the recipe, cheers!! xTieghan
Can you use a dark or amber rum instead of white?
Hey Nicky,
Sure, it will just change the coloring of your drink:) I hope you love the recipe, cheers! xTieghan
Would love a summer cocktail for a crowd so someone doesn’t have to play bartender all night!
Up top where it says serving size move the bar till it says 20. It will adjust the ingredients to make a large portion.
Hey Erin,
You can actually adjust the serving size on the recipe card, just increase it to your liking and the ingredients will adjust for you:) Let me know if you have any other questions! Cheers! xTieghan
What alcohol could you use instead of rum (I don’t care for rum)
I like to use a blueberry vodka most times when I make mojitos. It’s so good!
Then its not a mojito. Rum makes it a mojito.
It says to strain into a glass but the photo shows the fruit on the glass. Do I garnish or add back the muddled fruit?
Hi Stephanie,
I strain into the glass and then garnish with fresh strawberries to your liking. Please let me know if you give the recipe a try, I hope you love it! xxTieghan
Thanks for sharing Marcie!!
Hi Sandi,
The rum makes this drink a mojito, but you could really use any other liquor that you enjoy:) I hope you love the recipe, cheers! xTieghan
