6–8 fresh mint leaves
Club soda, to top
Ice (crushed or cubed)
Lime slice and mint sprig, for garnish
Instructions
Muddle the base: In a tall glass, add sliced strawberries, mint leaves, lime juice, and simple syrup. Gently muddle to release all that juicy, minty flavor.
Add the rum: Pour in the white rum and coconut rum. Stir to combine.
Fill with ice: Add crushed or cubed ice to the top of the glass.
Top with fizz: Slowly pour club soda over the mixture until the glass is full. Stir gently.
Garnish and serve: Add a lime wedge and a mint sprig. Pop in a fun straw and sip your way to a tropical state of mind!
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.
