Mojitos are more tart with some fizz. But we give you the option to add in some sugar to sweeten the cocktail. The strawberries in the mojito add some sweetness.

White rum is used when making mojitos. But you are welcome to use vodka or any other alcohol of choice.

Kitchen notes

You can use frozen strawberries if you don’t have fresh. Fresh mint leaves are best. Use basil instead of mint for a swap of flavor. To make non-alcoholic leave out the rum and just use club soda to replace. If you want a strawberry mojito with vodka, just swap the alcohol. Add more or less alcohol to adjust the flavor of your cocktail. Add in other berries for a berry mojito. Swap the strawberries to pineapple for a pineapple mojito. You can easily make this into a pitcher if you want to serve a crowd. We just find making single serve cocktails offers the best flavor. Serve this cocktail right away, as the ice will begin to melt and water down your cocktail.
