After a long day, there’s nothing better than sitting back and relaxing with a refreshing raspberry mojito. This easy-to-make drink is the perfect combination of fruity and rum. While I share big-batch summer drink recipes, like hard lemonade or white sangria, this raspberry mojito is excellent because it’s made directly in the glass. Perfect for when you want just one (although I doubt you won’t want seconds after trying this delicious cocktail!).
Step By Step Instructions
For the Raspberry Puree:
In a small saucepan, add the raspberries, water, and sugar. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes until thickened. Strain with a sieve to remove the seeds and smooth the mixture. You can add some seeds to the mix if desired. For storage, keep it in a bottle or jar. This recipe makes approximately 2 cups of syrup that can be used anytime you want to make a mojito.
For the mojitos:
In a 10 to 12oz highball glass, crush the three raspberries and mint leaves together with a cocktail muddler or the back of a spoon. Add the ice and some whole raspberries, followed by the rum. Next, add the raspberry puree. Top up the glass with soda water. Gently stir. Garnish with slices of fruit and more mint and enjoy every last sip!
