Fresh strawberries offer a delightful twist on the traditional mojito.
The mojito is already practically a perfect drink in every way, so what could possibly make it better?
A little seasonal fruit, like strawberries!

Which Rum to Use for a Mojito
I use Bacardi, but any white rum will do.
Since youre mixing rum with other ingredients, an ultra-premium rum isnt necessary.
(They’re also quite useful for making other cocktails, too!)

Without crushed ice, a mojito isn’t a mojito.
The best way Ive found to do this is with acanvas ice bag.
You place the ice in it, and then beat the tar out of it with a rolling pin.
Add crushed ice on top of the strawberries and mint, then pour in the lime juice and rum.
Use a bar spoon or teaspoon to stir the drink.
Don’t stir too vigorously, otherwise you’ll bring the mint to the surface!
Fill the remainder of the glass with more crushed ice, then top with sparkling water.
