🍹 What is a Strawberry Mojito Mocktail?

A strawberry mojito mocktail is a pretty, pink combination of strawberry simple syrup, sparkling club soda mint leaves and lime juice. It’s a refreshing and vibrant mocktail that is full of sweet strawberry flavor mingled with a fizzy mint.

This fun and easy mocktail is a flavored, non-alcoholic or virgin twist on the classic mojito cocktail. Mojitos are usually made with rum, lime juice, simple syrup and muddled mint leaves.

Like many other classic cocktails, mojitos can easily be turned into mocktails by removing the rum and adding club soda. This variation of the mojito mocktail ramps the flavor up even more by using a strawberry flavored simple syrup. There are other easy to make flavor variations such as a raspberry mojito mocktail or a mango mojito mocktail.

Need more reasons why you should try this recipe? Here are just a few:

  • It’s refreshing. With its light and fizzy flavors, this is a refreshing mocktail perfect for sipping on warm days. It is flavorful yet not overpowering.
  • Pretty pink color. The strawberry syrup in this mocktail really lends to a beautiful pink color. Which makes it a nice eye catching drink to serve at events or even better for themed events that have pink as the color theme.
  • Anyone can drink it. Since this is a mocktail, it Is suitable for most anyone to consume. It can allow adults to have a fancy drink without any alcohol and it can allow kids to feel like they’re getting a fancy drink too.

📖 Variations

If you’re interested in creating a few flavor modifications or, need some ingredient substitutions, here are a few things to try:

  • Use a flavored seltzer water. Instead of plain club soda, use a flavored seltzer water. Some flavors that might work well for this drink include lime or strawberry.
  • Use fresh strawberries. Instead of using strawberry simple syrup or in addition to, you can slice up one or two strawberries and muddle them together with the mint leaves. This will lead to a drink with little pieces of fresh strawberry in it creating an even more fresh fruit flavor.
  • Make it a slushie. For those extra warm or hot days, you can turn this into a frozen treat. Simply add some ice to your ingredients and blend them all together.
  • Make it for a crowd. Multiply your ingredients by six times and mix this one together in a pitcher or punch bowl.
  • Add more garnishes. Add a little more color to your drink and a little more garnish flavor by adding some fresh strawberries and/or a lime wedge to the rim as well.
  • Use a flavored soda. You can replace the club soda with a lemon lime soda or even ginger ale to add a little extra sweetness and spice.
