Ingredients

  • 2 large strawberries sliced

  • 1 can lime sparkling water

Instructions

  • Add the mint leaves, sliced strawberries, lime wedges, and maple syrup to a glass.
  • Use a muddler to smash them together until you can smell the mint and the strawberries are mostly crushed.
  • Add ice almost to the top of your glass and add lime seltzer to fill the cup.
  • Stir well and enjoy!

Notes

Expert Tips

  • Sweetener: If you prefer simple syrup over a natural sweetener alternative, feel free to use it. 
  • Alcoholic Version: If you want to transform this mojito mocktail recipe into one that contains rum, simply add 1.5oz of rum to your cocktail shaker with all of the ingredients except the seltzer, and shake with ice for 30 seconds. Then strain it into a glass filled with ice and add the club soda or lime seltzer to top it off. 
  • Muddler: A muddler is a common tool behind a bar to smash ingredients to release juices and aromas. If you don’t have a muddler, you can use the end of a wooden spoon or spatula, or another utensil that you have on hand. 
  • Zero Proof Rum: If you want to get the rum flavor without the alcohol, there are many brands that make zero-proof spirits, giving the flavor of the alcohol without any of the effects. 
  • Carbonated Water: I used lime seltzer in my version, which I think makes such a flavorful mojito. However, you can use club soda, plain seltzer, or even ginger ale if you prefer. Just be aware that you will need to adjust the amount of sugar and lime juice if you use alternatives.
