It’s summer and nothing says summer like a mojito. Mint is growing like weeds in my backyard and I call it my mojito garden.
This strawberry and pineapple mojito tastes great with tequila or rum. Believe me, I have tried them both. So pick your poison and make a fizzy, minty, and sweet Strawberry and Pineapple Mojito to quench your thirst.

Strawberry Vodka Mojito - Making your strawberry mojito with vodka might not be traditional, but it’s a great way to let the fruity flavors shine. You’re also welcome to make a strawberry tequila mojito instead!
Frozen Strawberry Mojito - Swap in pineapple or strawberry sorbet in place of juice, then toss everything in a blender and blitz until smooth and frosty.
Different Herbs - Try making a strawberry basil mojito, a pineapple cilantro mojito, or a pineapple, strawberry, & tarragon mojito for a fun new twist.
Pineapple Strawberry Mojito Mocktail - Either use your favorite NA rum or swap in extra sparkling water or lemon-lime soda to make a tasty drink that even the kiddos can enjoy.
