Pomegranate Strawberry Mojito

This is one of my favorite cocktails and it’s so easy to make! A delicious and refreshing Strawberry Mojito, that’s lightly sweetened with strawberries, pomegranate and has a refreshing twist of mint. A perfect summer drink!

I’ve been drinking mojitos all summer. Anytime I order a cocktail at a restaurant, it’s a mojito and I tell the bartender to go easy on the sugar. I’m not a fan of super sweet cocktails as I prefer lightly sweetened, freshly muddled drinks that use real fruit ; ) The trick to making the perfect mojito is a large amount of fresh mint (don’t skimp on this!), lots of fresh lime juice and good rum. I have the classic recipe down, so I thought I would muddle some fresh strawberries and pomegranates in to create a refreshing, colorful cocktail for Labor Day. They were very tasty and we drank them while playing cards!

How To Make A Pomegranate Strawberry Mojito – Step By Step 

• In a cocktail shaker add the mint, pomegranates, strawberries and sugar then muddle well.
• Add ice and the rum and shake vigorously.
• Strain the cocktail into an ice-filled glass. You might have to take the lid off of the cocktail shaker and pour the juice out holding back the fruit.
• Once the glass is filled, top it off with a small amount of club soda.
• Give it a little stir and then garnish with a sprig of mint, a strawberry and a few pomegranate seeds. Enjoy and happy Labor Day!

A Fruity Cocktail Perfect For Summer

When summer arrives, it’s really the perfect time for a fruity cocktail and this pomegranate strawberry mojito hits the spot. It’s refreshing, and because of the fresh fruit, it’s sweet but not overly so. A good helping of fresh mint really lifts this cocktail and makes it quite invigorating on the ol taste buds!
