Notes
-
Want to make it a mocktail? Skip the rum and use coconut water or pineapple juice instead!
-
You can swap strawberries for raspberries, blueberries, or even mango for a fun twist.
-
To serve a crowd, multiply ingredients and muddle everything in a pitcher—just add club soda right before serving.
-
Crushed ice gives that classic mojito texture, but cubed works too in a pinch.
-
Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more or less simple syrup to your liking.
