Description

This Raspberry Mojito recipe offers a refreshing summer cocktail with a delightful twist of fresh raspberries. Featuring a homemade raspberry syrup combined with classic mojito elements like mint, lime, and white rum, this drink is lightly sweetened and perfectly balanced to provide a vibrant, fruity, and aromatic beverage ideal for warm-weather indulgence.

Ingredients

Scale

Single Serving Cocktail

  • 2 oz White Rum (4 tablespoons)
  • 1 oz Lime Juice (2 tablespoons)
  • 5 Fresh Mint Leaves, plus extra for garnish (approximately)
  • 1 tablespoon Raspberry Syrup (see below)
  • 2 Raspberries for garnish

Raspberry Syrup

  • 1 cup Fresh Raspberries
  • 1/2 cup Sugar

Instructions

  1. Make the Raspberry Syrup: Place 1 cup of fresh raspberries and 1/2 cup of sugar into a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat until the mixture begins to simmer, then continue to simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Remove from heat and let it cool completely. Once cooled, strain the syrup through a fine mesh sieve to remove raspberry seeds, leaving a smooth syrup ready for use.
  2. Muddle the Mint: In the bottom of a glass, gently muddle 5 fresh mint leaves. Be careful to only crush the leaves enough to release their aromatic oils without tearing them into tiny pieces to avoid a bitter taste or leafy chunks in the drink.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Add 1 tablespoon of the prepared raspberry syrup, 2 ounces (4 tablespoons) of white rum, and 1 ounce (2 tablespoons) of fresh lime juice to the glass with the muddled mint. Stir well to mix the flavors and help infuse the mint throughout the drink.
  4. Add Ice and Club Soda: Fill the glass with ice cubes, then slowly pour club soda over the ice until the glass is full. Pour gently to minimize bubbling. Lightly stir again to combine the soda with the cocktail without losing too much carbonation.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Finish by garnishing the cocktail with a few fresh mint leaves and two raspberries placed on top. Serve immediately and enjoy this vibrant, refreshing raspberry mojito.

Notes

  • Use a light white rum such as Bacardi Silver or 10 Cane Rum for the smoothest flavor.
  • Muddling the mint gently releases essential oils without shredding leaves, which ensures smooth texture and optimal flavor.
  • The homemade raspberry syrup enhances flavor without adding excessive sweetness.
  • Pour club soda slowly to retain carbonation and create a refreshing bubbly finish.
  • This recipe yields one cocktail; scale ingredients accordingly for more servings.
