These delicious strawberry mojitos are made with my homemade strawberry mint syrup!
My husband and I love mojitos, they are the go to drink of summer. This summer I decided we needed to explore some new tastes and make some summer sweet flavored mojitos! I used the fresh strawberries that I had the opportunity to pick myself a few weeks ago and made a minty sweet syrup! You can find the recipes for both the strawberry mojito and the strawberry mint syrup bellow!
Anytime you make mojitos you should always start with mulling the mint and lime together. Since there is a trace of mint in the syrup as well you want to mull 2 mint leaves with your slice of lime. Then add the strawberry mint syrup. Add ice to the glass. Finally top with lemon lime soda (or club soda) and a sprig of mint! Now sit back relax and enjoy this minty sweet drink!

These look great! I’ve tried watermelon mojitos, not my favorite, so I think strawberry would be way better!! I am definitely going to try these!!
Oh, man I haven’t had a good mojito in ages but I’m totally trying this one! Except with raspberries over strawberries, cause I’m allergic. Yum!
