Serve up a batch of the best Strawberry Mojitos at your next party and get rave reviews! Everyone will love this fruity, minty drink recipe!
Why This Recipe is Best
Mojitos are so bright and refreshing and this strawberry version is no exception! It’s just perfect for sipping!
In a traditional mojito, mint leaves and lime juice are muddled with sugar before being mixed with white rum and club soda over ice.
We’re doing the same thing here, but we’re adding fresh strawberries to the muddling mixture to break them down and release the flavors.
Strawberry and lime go so well together, and those flavors just sing in this drink. You’ll be so happy with this fun, fruity twist!
- Fresh strawberry flavor in every sip
- Bright citrus notes from the limes and a cool, minty finish
- Such a beautiful drink, too, to share with friends!
Ingredient Notes
- Mint – You’ll need 20 leaves for muddling. You may want extra for garnishes, too.
- Lime Juice – You’ll need about 1/3 cup of fresh lime juice. Four good sized limes should be plenty. Do not substitute bottled lime juice.
- Strawberries – Use fresh, sweet strawberries for the best flavor. Frozen strawberries, completely thawed and drained, would work as well.
- Rum – Bacardi is my go-to for white rum, but another brand will do.
Easy Instructions
Step 1. Muddle. Add the mint leaves, berries, lime juice and sugar to a pitcher and muddle together until well mashed and combined.
Step 2. Mix. Add the rum to the pitcher and stir to combine.
Step 3. Serve. Pour the mojito over crushed ice in your glasses, about 3/4 full, and then top with club soda. Garnish, if desired, and enjoy!
Tips and Tricks
- Roll the limes before you cut and juice them to help release the juices so you get the most out of each one.
- Use a muddler set (like this one) to help get all the muddling ingredients well smashed and their flavors combined.
- No muddler? You can use the stem of a wooden spoon or lightly pulse the mixture in a blender or food processor. Just don’t completely puree it.
- Add some fun garnishes to make the drinks extra special! Lime slices, fresh mint and strawberries are a pretty combination.
Recipe FAQs
Yes, you can muddle the berries, lime, mint and sugar and add the rum to the pitcher in advance. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Then pour the mojitos over ice and add the club soda.
Sure. Just omit the rum and use more club soda to make a full drink. Or use part lemon-lime soda and part club soda if you prefer.
The recipe makes 4 drinks, depending on how large your pours are. You can double or triple the recipe if needed, as long as your pitcher is large enough.

LOVE this twist on mojitos!!!
What a perfect way to remind yourself of that awesome trip!
I’ve enjoyed that very drink with Princess. So very good!!! What a great cruise you were on!
It was quite magical 🙂
Those look like the perfect drink while laying on the ship watching the water with your favorite person and talking about your next port! Oh my goodness, I love everything about this.. now I want to go on another cruise! <3
I want to go too!!!
This looks like the perfect cruising drink!
I have a confession. I’ve never been on a cruise. I know, right! So bizarre. I’ve always wanted to do one but just haven’t be organized enough to plan one. I hear they are amazing. Everyone raves about the drinks and food on them. Speaking of drinks, these mojitos are gorgeous. Nothing beats a pretty cocktail.
Oh you need to try the cruising life 🙂 So fun!!! And you get to see snippets of so many different places!
Delicious! I made this in the blender because I was pressed on time. It turned out fine, but I do plan on making it again correctly.
Hey whatever works 🙂
Strawberry mojitos are one of my fav things to order, yet I have never made them myself. Totally need to change that!
I wish I was back there with you and Kari again! Can we just make a trip with the four of us a yearly thing? Can’t WAIT to try this drink! We found all the best cocktails on board!
Sounds like a plan to me!!!
What a gorgeous drink and I remember all your IG pics very well of this trip! So fun! St.Germain is the bomb. Love that stuff!
Glad someone followed along 🙂 LOVED St. Germaine!
