FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS RECIPE:
WHAT KIND OF RUM IS THE BEST TO USE?
For the best flavor in this fancy drink, I recommend using a good quality white rum.
Brands like Bacardi Superior or any light rum work well for this classic mojito recipe.
Dark rums can also be used for a richer flavor, but white rum is the traditional choice.
CAN THIS BE MADE AHEAD?
Yes, you can make this mojito pitcher recipe ahead of time!
Prepare everything except the club soda, and store the pitcher in the refrigerator.
Add the club soda just before serving to keep the drink fizzy and refreshing.
The last thing you want is to have your mojito cocktail go flat.

ANY ADDITIONS?
I love the tart flavors of mojitos. It makes me sad when I get to the bottom of a glass!
This classic rum cocktail will have your taste buds singing.
- Fresh Berries: Add some fresh raspberries or blackberries for a fruity twist.
- Flavored Simple Syrup: Use a mint or berry-flavored simple syrup for extra flavor.
- Cucumber Slices: Add thinly sliced cucumber for a cool, refreshing note.
- Pineapple Juice: Mix in a splash of pineapple juice for a tropical touch.
- Coconut Water: Replace some of the club soda with coconut water for a subtle coconut flavor.
- Basil Leaves: Swap out some mint leaves for basil for a unique flavor.
- Ginger Ale: Use ginger ale instead of club soda for a spicier kick.
- Sparkling Water: Replace club soda with sparkling water for a lighter taste.
- Lime Zest: Add a bit of lime zest for an extra citrusy punch.
ANY SUBSTITUTIONS?
You can decide what that perfect balance of flavor is.
Refreshing cocktails like this one are just begging to be changed.
It’s a classic cocktail for a reason!
- Dark Rum: Use dark rum instead of white rum for a deeper, richer flavor.
- Cane Sugar: Use cane sugar instead of granulated sugar for a slightly different taste.
- Lemon Juice: Replace lime juice with lemon juice for a different citrus flavor.
- Agave Syrup: Replace simple syrup with agave syrup for a different sweetness.
- Leave out the alcohol for a mojito mocktail that the kids can enjoy!

HOW TO STORE:
Refrigerator: Store any leftover mojitos in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Just cover the pitcher with plastic wrap or transfer the mojitos to an airtight container.
Freezer: I do not suggest freezing.
DANA’S TIPS AND TRICKS:
- Muddle Well: Make sure to muddle the mint leaves well to release their natural oils, which give the mojitos their signature flavor.
- Fresh Ingredients: Use fresh lime juice and mint leaves for the best taste. Bottled lime juice just doesn’t compare!
- Chill Ingredients: Keep your ingredients cold before mixing to ensure a refreshing drink.
- Avoid Flat Club Soda: Add the club soda just before serving to keep your mojitos fizzy.
- Adjust Sweetness: Taste your mojitos and adjust the sweetness by adding more simple syrup or sugar if needed.
