A simple homemade cocktail or mocktail made with simple ingredients. Main ingredients are strawberries, mint, lime juice, ginger ale and rum. This is my Mennonite version of a strawberry mojito drink.
Strawberry Mojito Cocktail or mocktail
Cook a syrup,
3/4 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
8 lg. mint leaves
Simmer for 4 minutes. This syrup is for more than this recipe. Keep the extra syrup in the fridge for a few days or freeze the extra as ice cubes for a future drink.
In a 2 qt pitcher muddle (crush ingredients together)
1 lime, sliced
16 mint leaves
8 strawberries, sliced
1 tbsp. sugar
Then add
1 Ginger Ale, 355ml
2 cups water
4-6 tbsp. syrup (adjust to your taste)
1/4 cup white rum, optional
ice, fill the pitcher
Stir, pour and enjoy!
