Strawberry Mojito Cocktail
The simple syrup recipe in the Notes is for a larger batch of simple syrup to keep on hand. It keeps for months in the fridge if you store it in a clean container. If you don't want to make the simple syrup (although it always great to have on hand) you can muddle in about 1 tablespoon (or to taste) of sugar instead
Ingredients
1 ounce simple syrup , or to taste
3 fresh strawberries (approximiately)
2-3 fresh spearmint sprigs (chopped if you prefer smaller mint pieces in your cocktail)
1 ounce fresh lime juice
2 ounces light rum
3-4 ounces soda water
Directions
- In a chilled highball glass (about 10-12 ounces), muddle the simple syrup, strawberries and mint leaves together with the back of a spoon or muddler. Crush the strawberries and mint leaves well.
- Stir in the lime juice and rum. Fill the glass with ice and top off with soda water. Gently stir.
