Sipping on these refreshing homemade Strawberry Mojito cocktails will make you feel like you're on a tropical island in crystal clear waters
Ingredients
- 1 lime (cut into wedges) (NOTE 1)
- 10 - 12 mint leaves
- 4 strawberries (cut into quarters)
- 2 tsp caster sugar (or regular white sugar) (NOTE 1)
- 60 ml white rum (NOTE 2)
- 125 ml soda water (½ cup) (NOTE 3)
- Ice cubes
- Sprigs of mint to garnish
Instructions
- Cut the lime in half and cut the halves into 4 or 5 segments. Cut the strawberries into quarters and pick the off the mint leaves, leave some mint sprigs for garnish.
- Use a glass that can hold 350ml (12 fl oz), add in half of the limes wedges and half of the strawberries, mint leaves and sugar. Using a muddler or the end of a wooden spoon carefully muddle the ingredients together to extract the flavours.
- Add in the rum and pour in the soda water.
- Stir the mix with a spoon making sure the sugar has fully dissolved, add in the ice and the remaining strawberries and lime. Garnish with mint leaves sprigs and strawberries.
Notes
(NOTE 1) Caster sugar is also known as ‘superfine sugar’ or ‘baker’s sugar’. It has a finer consistency when compared to white or granulated sugar so it'll dissolve quicker when muddling. You can also use regular white sugar, just spend a bit more time muddling it into the lime.
(NOTE 2) White rum - I used Bacardi but any brand of white rum can be used.
(NOTE 3) Soda water is also known as sparkling water, seltzer water, club soda or carbonated water. I used my soda stream machine to make mine.
