The Story Behind The Pink Strawberry Mojito

As the warmer summer days start to make way for fall, I am making the best of what I have left with delicious, fruit-filled Mojitos. This pink strawberry version gets its color from grenadine syrup, which I use in lieu of sugar. It features all the usual suspects like rum, lime, and mint, and I added some strawberries to give it a little more flavor. The berries also provide additional natural sugars to complement the grenadine and balance the final cocktail.

Ingredients

  • 2 ounces white rum
  • ½ ounce grenadine
  • 1 ounce lime juice
  • Soda (to top)
  • 2 strawberries
  • 6 mint leaves

Directions

  1. Combine rum, grenadine, strawberries, and mint in a cocktail shaker with ice.
  2. Shake to chill and combine.
  3. Pour entire contents into a Collins glass.
  4. Garnish with a fresh mint sprig and strawberry.
  5. Enjoy!
