What is better than an ice cold refreshing drink on a warm summer night?? I just love having a little somethin’ somethin’ on the weekends or after a particularly grueling day of blogging. Mojitos are a go-to drink for me, they are light and refreshing with the lime and mint.
But, you know me I always have to mix it up a bit! I made a super easy triple berry simple syrup to use in place of plain simple syrup for these triple berry mojitos! Get those glasses chilled my friends, you’re in for a keeper!

They are a very easy drink that seems complicated but they aren’t and will definitely impress your guests!

What I think is great about this recipe is how versatile it is. The possibilities of different flavored simple syrups are endless. Also, make it kid friendly easily by leaving out the rum!
Oh yes, summer at it’s best all in a glass for you to enjoy! They go down easily too, but I really love to savor the berry flavor. I hope you enjoyed this amazing recipe! What is your favorite mojito flavor??

Hi Dana! I’m stopping over from Let’s Get Real today. A triple berry mojito sounds just like what I need to get this weekend started. Sounds so fruity, fresh, and relaxing.

Oh boy! These look delicious. Any idea what I could use in place of rum? I don’t drink alcohol generally speaking. Pinned it.
