- Rum: We’ll use white rum to keep it simple and sweet.
- Strawberries: Fresh sliced strawberries are muddled with the other ingredients to add a summer berry twist!
- Sugar: Feel free to use simple syrup if you want to avoid granulated sugar not fully dissolving into the drink.
- Soda Water: Any type works! For a shortcut, you can use lime-flavored sparkling water.
- Lime: Fresh lime slices always add a bit of zing.
- Mint: This is where the refreshing feeling comes from!
Variations on Strawberry Mojitos
These mojitos have a great balance of flavors, but there’s always room to customize them to your preferences. Feel free to swap the mint for basil for a more herbal mojito. Swap out the strawberries for a different berry, like blackberries or raspberries.
Not a fan of white rum? Try vodka or gin instead. You can even make it a mocktail by simply leaving out the rum altogether!
A mojito is a Cuban cocktail made from rum, sugar, water, lime, and mint. This recipe switches out the lime for delicious strawberries!
What is the best kind of rum for a strawberry mojito?
Use a white rum (also called silver or light rum). It has a subtly sweet flavor that pairs well with the mint. I do not recommend using dark rum, as it is too sweet and has a flavor that will overpower the delicate mint.
Absolutely! Try blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, or a mix of all three!
For a non-alcoholic strawberry mojito, simply omit the rum and add a bit more club soda and sugar.

Becky’s Tips
- Although I always recommend using fresh strawberries, you can use frozen in a pinch.
- Do not use dried mint, though. The mint must be fresh!
- You can swap the mint for fresh basil or even rosemary if you’re looking to get adventurous.
- You can replace the white rum with coconut rum for a fun tropical flavor, or use vodka, gin, or tequila!
- Feel free to use 1½ teaspoons of simple syrup in place of the sugar if you have it on hand.
- If you don’t have a muddler, use the back of a large wooden spoon.
- Don’t over-muddle the mint, as it can become bitter and turn an ugly brown color.
- If you find your mojito is too sweet, add lime juice or a splash of Angostura bitters.
- Feel free to add a dark rum floater to your mojito for a deeper, sweeter taste.
