  • Club soda – A simple mixer to add liquid and sparkle!

Frequently Asked Questions 

How do you make it without alcohol?

For a Strawberry Mojito Mocktail, simply leave out the rum and add more club soda!

How should I serve these? 

In a highball glass! For garnishes, use lime wedges and fresh strawberries (put a slice in the side and mount it on the glass). If you want to go all out, try lining the rim with granulated sugar.

What does it mean to muddle something?

This technique is often used in making craft cocktails. Basically, it means mashing up ingredients (like herbs, berries, or fruit) to release the flavor. 
You can either use a bartending muddling tool, a mortar and pestle, or a wooden spoon handle!

What rum to use for a mojito?

You’ll want to use a white rum ( also call light or silver rum). This is a clear spirit that’s slightly sweet and is found in a lot of fruity cocktails.
