A traditional mojito is a rum based drink and is a popular summer cocktail. A mojito typically includes white rum, lime juice, mint, and sugar.

This strawberry mojito mocktail recipe is based off the original mojito cocktail, but does not include the alcohol.

• Strawberries: Washed, stems removed, and sliced.
• Mint Leaves: Fresh is always best. You’ll get the freshest mint flavor and you wouldn’t want dried mint bits floating throughout the drink, yuck!
• Fresh Lime Juice: Store bought lime juice will work in this recipe, however you’ll get the most flavor out of squeezing your own fresh limes.
• Lemon Lime Soda: Feel free to use club soda in place of the lemon lime soda, however you may want to add a tablespoon or so of sugar to add a little sweetness.
• Ice Cubes: These are optional, but what is a summer drink without the ice cubes!

• Granulated Sugar
• Lime Zest
• Lime Ice Cubes: We’ll talk about these in a minute!
• Fresh Mint Leaves

How to Make a Strawberry Mojito Mocktail

Add the sliced strawberries and mint leaves to a pitcher. Using the end of a wooden spoon, muddle the strawberries and mint together to combine their flavors. Muddling is basically crushing fruit & herbs to draw out their flavors & essential oils to help mix them into the drink.

Smash the strawberries so they begin to liquify, and make sure to not muddle the mint leaves too harshly. You don’t want tiny bits of mint in the mocktail, you want the mint leaves left largely intact.

Once the strawberries and mint leaves are perfectly muddled, add the lime juice & the lemon lime soda to the pitcher. Mix together to combine.

In a shallow bowl, combine the granulated sugar & lime zest. Rim each glass with lime juice and then dip into the sugar & lime mixture.

Add ice cubes to your glasses and pour the strawberry mojito mocktail into each glass. Garnish with a lime ice cube & mint leaves. Enjoy!

Citrus ice cubes are a fun way to elevate your summer drinks! I found this citrus ice cube mold at Williams-Sonoma and have been using it to make lime, lemon, & orange orange ice cubes. It’s such a fun variation to the normal square ice cube!

Here’s how to make lime ice cubes for this strawberry mojito mocktail.

1. In a clean citrus ice cube mold, pour enough water in each mold to fill it about 1/4 of the way full.
2. Add a thin slice of lime (about 1/4″ in thickness) to each mold.
3. Then, pour more water into each mold to cover the lime, filling all the way to the top of the mold.
4. Freeze until frozen, and then drop lime ice cubes into drinks.

This citrus ice cube mold isn’t just for freezing water. You can use this to freeze lemonade, ice tea, lime juice, and other liquids into fun citrus shapes for summer!

Check out this reel I shared over on Instagram, where I froze lemon slices with ice tea for a new take on Arnold Palmer’s.

Yes. You could easily swap out the strawberries for raspberries, blackberries, or even blueberries would be delicious in this drink.

That’s what is so great about this mojito mocktail recipe! It’s completely customizable based on your personal taste preferences.

You sure can!

Just add a few ounces of your favorite white or light rum (high quality vodka could be used instead of rum) to the pitcher to take this strawberry mojito from a mocktail to a cocktail.

Oh, and you’ll want to make sure the kiddos don’t drink the mojito cocktail version! Just saying!
