5-Minute Strawberry Mojito Mocktail

Our 5-minute strawberry mojito mocktail is a twist on the classic rum cocktail, but without the alcohol. The fresh fruit mixed with the fresh herbs make a refreshing drink that everyone will love.

This fruity mocktail recipes is going to become your new favorite beverage. It is great for a baby shower, dry July, a hot summer day, or if you are craving the sweet flavor of strawberries in a tasty drink. Honestly, it is perfect any time of year.

My virgin strawberry margarita usually does the trick, but sometimes I want to switch it up and have a drink, rather than a frozen drink. The strawberry mocktail is another great one but I just love messing around with new recipes so this was born.

Top tip: I always find that serving fun drinks is even better when you have fun glasses. Get some cute cups (they have really cute plastic ones) and enjoy!

Ok grab What you need and let's mix

This virgin strawberry mojito recipe calls for simple ingredients, making it the perfect drink as it is so easy.

The fresh ingredients take this drink to the next level and will have you making the next batch before you realize it.

Strawberry Simple Syrup - To get the sweetness of the strawberry flavor, you need our strawberry simple syrup. Simple syrup can be added as much or as little as you want, depending on the sweetness level you desire. Mixed with fresh strawberries, this simple syrup creates the perfect strawberry flavor.

We use simple syrups in our mocktails all of the time. We have a plain simple syrup recipe, but we also have many other flavors.

Non-Alcoholic Rum - To give this strawberry mocktail recipe its mocktail taste, you need non-alcoholic rum. For the alcoholic drink, the recipe usually calls for white rum, but for a mocktail, you will use non-alcoholic rum. Yup, it's a real thing and it's also great in our Virgin Mojito Recipe in 5 minutes.

When you are purchasing anything labeled "non-alcoholic," make sure you are looking for a 0.0% ABV (alcohol by volume). Some non-alcoholic beverages contain some alcohol (no more than 0.5% ABV), so you will want to make sure you are buying the kind that has no alcohol at all. We really like the Ritual brand for this recipe.

Club Soda - Club soda makes this refreshing virgin strawberry mojito a bubbly drink. You will find recipes that call for lemon-lime soda, but I find that a classic club soda doesn't mess with the strawberry virgin mojito flavor.

Here is how to make it

• Simply place mint leaves and ½ lime cut into two wedges into a tall, sturdy glass or pestle and mortar and muddle to release oils in the mint and lime juice from the lime wedges (if using a pestle and mortar, move the leaves and juice to your serving glass)
• Add 3 sliced strawberries and gently muddle again
• Fill the glass to the top with ice and add the simple syrup and non-alcoholic rum (if using) then fill with club soda
• Stir and add more simple syrup if you like it sweeter
