Calories: 177kcal
Ingredients
- ½ cup fresh raspberries
- 6-8 fresh mint leaves
- 1 tablespoon mint simple syrup (or regular simple syrup or agave)
- 1 ounce fresh lime juice
- 1-2 ounces white rum or silver rum (such as Bacardi Superior or Havana Club)
- ½ cup club soda or seltzer water
- 1-2 cups ice cubes
- lime wedges or slices for garnish
- extra raspberries and fresh mint for garnish
Instructions
- Muddle the mint. Add the mint leaves and simple syrup to a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker. Gently press with a muddler or the back of a spoon to release the mint oils.
- Add raspberries. Add the fresh raspberries and muddle gently until they break down and release their juice.
- Add rum and lime. Pour in the fresh lime juice and white rum.
- Chill. Add a handful of ice and shake for about 10 seconds, or stir well if mixing directly in the glass.
- Strain. Strain into a tall glass filled with fresh ice. Skip straining if you prefer pieces of raspberry and mint in your cocktail.
- Add soda. Top with club soda or seltzer water and stir gently.
- Garnish and serve. Add lime wedges, fresh mint, and extra raspberries. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Best mint: Spearmint has a mild, sweet flavor that's perfect for mojitos.
- Don't over-muddle: Press mint leaves gently to release their oils without crushing them.
- Frozen raspberries: Thaw before using and include any juices released during thawing.
- Sweetness: Adjust the simple syrup to taste. If using lemon-lime soda instead of club soda, reduce the syrup.
- Best rum: White rum or silver rum works best.
- Mocktail: Omit the rum and replace it with extra club soda, sparkling water, or raspberry juice.
- Pitcher: Multiply the ingredients by six for six servings. Add club soda and ice just before serving.
- Make ahead: Prepare the syrup and fruit mixture ahead of time, but add soda water just before serving for the best fizz.
