Raspberry Mojito Recipe

It’s summer, and a cold drink is in order, but the last thing you feel like doing is pulling out your blender and creating some sort of complicated frozen situation. I understand. A pinch of fresh mint and berries, a second of muddling, and you’ll have the most perfect raspberry mojito summer cocktail ever. If you come to visit me in July, be prepared to sit on my porch with one of these. One of the best things to make with fresh raspberries.

I love a good refreshing mojito to enjoy in the warm summer sun with my sunglasses on.

Ingredients and Tools You’ll Need

Mint grows literally like a weed, so while I firmly believe everyone should grow some, don’t put it in your main garden patch. It can go in a pot sunk into the ground or planted where nothing else will grow.

Raspberries do have small seeds, and if that is something you don’t prefer, then you can easily press the raspberries through a fine-mesh strainer. But it’s never bothered me!

Equipment

• muddler (or just the narrow end of a wooden spoon)

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 12 large mint leaves
• ⅓ cup raspberries (fresh or frozen, see notes)
• ⅓ cup club soda
• ¼ cup white rum

How to Make Raspberry Mojito

Step One: Muddle. Muddle (gently press down and twist) the raspberries, mint leaves, sugar, and lime juice right in the glass you’ll be using. Be sure to crush the mint leaves thoroughly to release their flavor.

Step Two: Add Liquids. Add the club soda and rum. Add ice, stir well, and serve, garnishing with a lime wedge, a whole raspberry, and extra mint leaves.

Storage Instructions

You can prep the raspberry-mint-lime mixture up to 2 hours ahead. Keep it covered in the fridge and add the rum, ice, and club soda when you’re ready to serve.

Want to make this for a crowd? Muddle in batches, combine in a pitcher, and add ice and club soda as you serve.

What to Serve with Raspberry Mojito

Pair with light summer foods.

• Have some fish tacos with pineapple mango salsa.
• Or some shrimp fajitas that use one pan and are ready in 30 minutes.
• Serve some fresh fruit like watermelon, pineapple, and mango.
• Make a key lime pie, but only if you really want to. It needs a day to chill.

• Sweet and creamy, this peaches and cream cocktail is a dessert and drink all in one.
