For the Mojitos
- 2 cups white rum 16 ounces
- 7 limes juiced about 1 cup of fresh lime juice
- 2 cups ginger ale
- 1 ½ ounces grenadine
- 4 strawberries sliced
- 8 mint leaves
For the Garnish
- Fresh lime slices
- Fresh strawberry slices
- Mint leaves
Start by preparing the garnishes first: slice fresh limes and strawberries, gather mint leaves and set aside
In a large pitcher stir together the rum, lime juice, ginger ale, grenadine, strawberries, and mint leaves.
Muddling the mint leaves allows the oils to be released which helps bring out its flavor in your beverage. However, if you don’t have a tool specifically designed for muddling, you can simply rip or tear the mint leaves and stir them into the mixture.
When ready to serve, pour evenly into ice-filled glasses. Garnish lime slices, strawberry slices, and mint. Enjoy!
To make a strawberry-flavored pink mojito, simply add an extra ½ cup of strawberry puree to your drink after muddling the strawberries and before adding any other ingredients. This will give your cocktail a delightful sweet and fruity flavor!
- Choose a white rum that is not spiced or avoid coconut rum to keep the drink's traditional flavor.
- Use a large pitcher to ensure you have enough room for all of the ingredients.
- Let flavors combine by occasionally stirring while chilling in the refrigerator.
- Add the ginger ale just before serving for maximum flavor, bubbles and sweetness.
- Have a cutting board, knife, citrus juicer/squeezer, and long wooden spoon or cocktail stirrer ready beforehand.
- Make sure all ingredients are chilled before mixing them together.
- Use fresh limes to get the maximum flavor in your mojitos.
- Garnish with mint leaves or slices of lime or strawberry on top of each glass as desired.
