AuthorHeather WallaceCategorycOcktailsDifficultyBeginnerCelebrate 4th of July with this refreshing strawberry kiwi mojito!
This summer has been hot, really hot...so cool off and take a dip in the pool, float around and sip on this fresh cocktail. It packs a punch and will sneak up on you so drink responsibly. This drink doesn't taste like there's alcohol in it...
You can also make this non-alcoholic by substituting the alcohol with lemonade, coconut water, juice or just more club soda. Make it your own creation and enjoy your Independence Day!
Combine 1 cup of granulated sugar and 1 cup of water in a saucepan and bring to boil. Cook until sugar dissolves, stirring occasionally, let cool.
You will have enough simple syrup to make about 8 drinks.
Place remaining simple syrup not used in a bottle to store in the refrigerator for future use.
Place 2 large strawberries, 1/2 of a peeled kiwi, 8 mint leaves and the juice from 1 lime in a tall glass and gently muddle together to release the oils from the mint. I find that using a Pampered Chef Mix N’ Chop works great for muddling.
Add 2 ounces of simple syrup, 3 ounces of white rum, 1/2 cup of club soda (or mineral water), a spent lime half, and ice to the glass.
Crushed ice is best in this drink but if you don’t have crushed ice then use cubed,
Stir slightly and garnish with a few more strawberries and a lime wedge.
This is a recipe that is best made per glass and not in a pitcher.
