Strawberry Mojitos – fresh strawberries put a delicious twist on the classic Mojito. It’s a delicious and refreshing drink to serve at your summer cookouts, by the pool or for a Girl’s Night.
I’ve fallen in love with the Mojito.
It’s a simple drink, but there are truly so many possibilities for it. I’d never even had one until I’d gone to a food blogging conference last year. It was blueberry and it was so incredibly delicious. I was hooked right then and there.
Fast forward to a #foodbloggersleepover at Mary’s house about a month ago and Holly’s making us her fantastic version of a Mojito. Needless to say, it was an incredible few days as it usually is when we’re together. We laughed until our sides hurt, but we also talked a lot about blogging and actually did teach each other a thing or two in the process, believe it or not.
Great friends, delicious food and drinks plus LOTS of laughs, what’s better than that?

I made my Strawberry Mojitos in a 2-quart pitcher so that we could keep the extra in the fridge. Be sure to give it a good stir before you pour as the strawberry purée will settle at the bottom.

I also used this muddler to blend the strawberries and mint. I love it because it doesn’t crush the mint leaves as other muddlers might, but gently bends them together to bring out their flavor.
