Equipment

  • Blender

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. strawberries fresh or frozen
  • ¼ cup lime juice equals 4-5 limes
  • ½ cup water
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ¼ cup fresh mint plus more for garnish
  • 1-2 bottles club soda

Instructions

For The Simple Syrup:

  • Add ½ cup water to a small saucepan and heat the water to medium-low but do not bring to a boil.
  • Add ½ cup sugar to the water and stir until all of the sugar has dissolved.
  • Once dissolved, pour the simple syrup into a glass container (a mason jar works great) and allow to cool. (The simple syrup can be made and cooled ahead of time).

For The Strawberry Puree:

  • Thoroughly wash 1 lb. of fresh strawberries. You can also use frozen strawberries if you prefer. If using frozen strawberries, place them in a strainer in the sink and allow to thaw before use.
  • Hull the strawberries or simply chop the green stems off with a knife. Cut the strawberries in halves or quarters, depending on the size of the berry.
  • Add 1 lb. of chopped strawberries, ¼ cup of fresh lime juice (equals 2-3 limes), ¼ cup fresh mint, and ¼ cup of the cooled simple syrup to a blender. You can also use an immersion blender. (You can add the full ½ cup of simply syrup if you like a little extra sweetness).
  • Blend until the mixture is totally combined. The texture should be smooth and easy to pour.

Assemble The Mocktails:

  • Fill a highball glass with ice. Pour ⅓ cup or so of the strawberry puree over the ice (the glass should be ⅔ full).
  • Top the strawberry puree with club soda. Fill until the glass is totally full. Stir until combined. Garnish with fresh mint and a wedge of lime and serve immediately.
    Feel free to add 1.5 oz. of white rum to each glass if you'd like to make it into a cocktail.

Notes

It's important that the simple syrup cool completely before adding it to the mojito.
You can make the simple syrup ahead of time and store it in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Any leftover simple syrup may be stored this way as well.
Any leftover puree may be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
