Ingredients

4-6 fresh strawberries, hulled
6 fresh mint leaves (plus more for garnish)
1 lime, juiced (about 2 tablespoons)
2 ounces white rum (such as Bacardi)
1 ounce mint simple syrup (recipe below in notes) (or regular simple syrup)
4 ounces club soda (or soda water)
1 cup ice cubes
Optional garnishes: mint sprig, sliced lemon, fresh strawberries

Instructions

Add the mint leaves and mint simple syrup to a cocktail shaker or mason jar. Gently muddle with a muddler or the back of a wooden spoon until fragrant.
Add the fresh strawberries and muddle until they release their juices.
Add the white rum and fresh lime juice. Fill the shaker with crushed ice, cover, and shake well (about 15 seconds).
Fill a tall glass or collins glass with ice, and optional berries or mint leaves. Strain the mojito mixture into the glass.
Pour the club soda over top and stir gently to mix.
Add a mint sprig, a lemon slice, or a few extra berries for a festive touch. Serve immediately.

Notes

Simple Syrup Tip: To make mint simple syrup, combine ½ cup water and ½ cup sugar in a saucepan. Heat until dissolved, stir in ½ teaspoon mint extract and let cool. Store in a covered jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Mocktail Version: Omit the rum and add a splash of lemonade or lemon lime soda for a strawberry mojito mocktail. See my Strawberry Mojito without Alcohol recipe.
Make Ahead: You can pre-muddle the base in a pitcher and top with club soda just before serving.
