Sparkling Strawberry Mojito
If you’re looking for a new cocktail to kick off the spring season, this Sparkling Strawberry Mojito is just the ticket! Made similarly to a classic Mojito, this easy libation is made even more special with a splash of champagne.
It’s particularly wonderful when strawberries are at their peak because the sweetness goes perfectly with the rum and champagne. It’s a great sip any time of the year but we love it to quench our thirst when the summer heat is on.
Bonus points, it only takes a few minutes to make and it’s the best addition to girls night in!
How To Make It
Add the strawberries, mint, sugar and lime juice to a champagne flute or glass.
Muddle gently to combine the flavors and help the sugar dissolve a bit.
Top with the rum and fill with champagne.
Serve immediately with a strawberry for garnish!
What Is A Mojito
A Mojito is a traditional Cuban cocktail that’s basically a highball made with white rum, sugar, lime juice, club soda and mint. It’s particularly popular during the summer months because of the refreshing flavor of the mint.
There are many varieties these days of mojitos and this Strawberry Mojito takes it an extra step by subbing out the club soda for champagne or sparkling wine.
