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 summer cocktail ever. If you come 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.

Instructions
- Muddle. Muddle the raspberries, mint leaves, sugar, and lime juice right in the glass you'll be using. Be sure to throughly crush the mint leaves to release their flavor.
- Add liquids. Add the club soda and rum. Add ice, stir well, and serve, garnishing with a lime wedge, whole raspberry, and extra mint leaves.
Notes
The fruit adds flavor and beautiful color, making it feel special without any fussy ingredients or complicated steps.

Tips for Success
Muddle the raspberries until they’re completely crushed for the best flavor: this is easy with raspberries, they fall apart.
Add the club soda at the very end to keep it fizzy
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!
Always use fresh lime juice – it makes a big difference
Ingredients and Equipment
White Rum: Any decent white rum works well here
Fresh Mint: Look for bright green leaves without dark spots

Raspberries: Fresh or frozen both work fine
Club Soda: If you can find a 6-pack of cans, that is super handy to avoid wasting a whole bottle.
Equipment: You need a sturdy glass and something to muddle with (a muddler or wooden spoon handle)
Make It Your Own
- Try blackberries or strawberries instead of raspberries
- Use dark rum for a richer flavor
- Skip the rum and add extra club soda for a non-alcoholic version
- Top with prosecco instead of club soda for a fancier drink
When the summer temperatures begin to rise, there has got to be something cool and refreshing close by, and this mojito is just that.
