Summer Strawberry Mojito Cocktail | Bacardi Rum Mojito Recipe
The simple mixture of sweet, citrus, and herbaceous flavors create the perfect backdrop for splashes of nice light rum in this easy Bacardi rum mojito recipe with fresh strawberry.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 oz Simple Syrup
- 4 chunks Fresh Lime
- 8 to 10 leaves Fresh Mint
- 1½ oz Bacardi Light Rum
- 1 large Strawberry - quartered with the top removed
- Sparkling Water - club soda or soda water
Instructions
- Using a muddler, muddle the fresh mint, lime, and simple syrup. Muddle until mint leaves become crushed in the cup and lime chunks are smashed in and have released their juices.
- Toss in the pieces of one large quartered strawberry with the top removed. Muddle one more time just enough to crush the fresh berry pieces.
- Next, splash in the Bacardi light rum and top the glass off the rest of the way with a good handful of ice.
- Splash in the sparkling water for topping off. Gently stir entire cocktail together with a long bar spoon. Carefully stir evenly and thoroughly until sparkling water, sweetener, mint, lime and rum are evenly distributed and chilled throughout the glass.
- Garnish at the top with extra sprigs of fresh mint, lime wheels, or fresh sliced strawberries, if desired. Serve right away. Serve cold.
