Raspberry Mojito is a delicious drink with a refreshing twist on a classic. Fresh raspberries are muddled with mint to create a fruit and herb infused rum cocktail.
Raspberry Mojito Ingredients
To make this mint cocktail, you will need the following ingredients (see the recipe card below for exact amounts):
- Fresh raspberries: You can also use frozen raspberries but let them completely thaw before using. I would recommend using fresh ones for garnish
- Fresh mint leaves
- Lime
- Light brown sugar
- White rum
- Ice cubes
- Soda water
How to Make a Mojito with Raspberries
- Wash the raspberries and the mint leaves and add them to a big glass or shaker.
- Cut the lime in slices and add two slices to the shaker.
- Carefully muddle the raspberries, the mint leaves and the lime slices until raspberries are smooth.
- Divide mixture between the two glasses. Now divide sugar and remaining lime slices between the glasses, fill up with ice cubes and pour the rum over the ice.
- Fill up with sparkling water and garnish with raspberries and mint leaves.
FAQs
You can add more or less sugar to taste or replace sugar with sweetener or simple syrup.
You can also leave out the rum and make it virgin. Add some sprite or fresh lime juice instead if you want.
I would not make these ahead of time, they are very easy and fast to prepare and taste best freshly mixed. You could make a bigger pitcher and add ice just before serving if you wanted. But keep it cool in your fridge as long as possible.
