Easy Mint Mojitos

Brace yourself for summer in a cup! These Easy Mint Mojitos are refreshing, tasty, and super easy to whip up on the fly.

Gather This

The list of ingredients needed to make mint mojitos is short and sweet! A full list of ingredients with measurements for this recipe is available in the printable recipe card below.

• Lime – You can use the fresh lime juice in the simple syrup, the mojito itself and lime zest to rim the glass. For best flavor, I recommend only using a real fresh lime instead of the bottled version.
• Alcohol – I used white rum, which is traditional for a mojito, but you can also substitute with vodka if you prefer. I like Bacardi Silver for taste, but use your favorite rum or any brand you prefer.

Perfect Pairings

So let’s get ready to mix things up! In no time, you are going to have a refreshing glass for one or a pitcher to share. A classic mojito recipe that is perfect as a refreshing summer cocktail, for any taco Tuesday and to serve with sheet pan quesadillas.

Because they’re more of a summery drink, I like to pair them with something equally summery and light. A watermelon salad or peach salad would be the perfect accompaniment!

Switch Things Up!

Yes! Although mint and lime is the most common and most popular flavor for a mojito, you can also use other herbs and fruits:
