• White Rum – White rum works best in mojitos for its light, complementary flavor. If you prefer, you can omit it for a non-alcoholic version.
• Fresh Lime Juice – Freshly squeezed lime juice is key for that zesty kick. It balances the sweetness of the raspberries perfectly.
• Soda water – Adds a fizzy component to your mojito, making it even more refreshing. You can adjust the amount of Club soda to suit your taste.

Raspberry Mojito Mocktail

Expert Tips

• Balance the Flavors – Adjust the sweetness and tartness according to your preference. The key to a perfect mojito is finding the right balance between the raspberries, lime juice, and sugar.
• Muddle Gently – When muddling the fresh mint and raspberries, gently release the flavors without turning the mint bitter or the raspberries too mushy.
• Chill Your Glasses – Chill your glasses in the freezer for 10-15 minutes before serving. This keeps your mojito colder for longer, enhancing the refreshing experience.
• Quality Ingredients – Use the freshest mint and raspberries you can find for the best flavor. The quality of the rum is also important – a smoother rum will make a smoother mojito.
• Ice is Key – Use plenty of ice to keep your mojito cold without diluting it too quickly. Crushed ice is often preferred as it chills the drink faster.
• Remember that these sweet cocktails go down easily, so make sure to drink responsibly and be mindful of your consumption.

Delicious Variations

• Berry Mojito – Mix it up by adding a variety of berries like strawberries, blueberries, or blackberries.
• Sparkling Raspberry Mojito – Use sparkling wine instead of club soda for a more sophisticated, bubbly version.

Prep And Storage

• Prep Ahead – You can make the sugar syrup for your Raspberry Mojito cocktail beforehand. Store it in the fridge for up to 1-2 weeks in a clean, airtight container. This way, you’re always ready to whip up a quick mojito whenever the mood strikes.
• Store – If you have leftover mojito (though, let’s be honest, what are the chances of that?), you can keep it in the refrigerator for about 4-5 days. Just keep in mind that the flavors might soften over time. I’m all about that fresh zing, so I recommend making it fresh each time.
• Freeze – Freezing can alter the texture and dilute the flavors, making it less than ideal when thawed. It’s best enjoyed freshly made and chilled.
