Introducing our summer cocktail: the Peach & Strawberry Rum Mojito.
This refreshing take on the classic mojito blends rum with ripe strawberries and sweet peaches for a bright, fruity drink perfect for warm days.
Peach & Strawberry Rum Mojito
Mojitos are a timeless favorite, and this version adds seasonal summer fruit to give the cocktail a juicy, sweet twist.
When peaches and strawberries are at their peak, combine them with rum and mint to elevate the classic mojito into a flavorful, aromatic cocktail.
What is a strawberry mint mojito?
This cocktail is essentially a mash-up of a mojito and a strawberry daiquiri: minty, citrusy, and fruity all at once.
Peach lemonade, strawberries, spiced rum, fresh mint, and ice come together in one vibrant drink that balances sweetness with herbal freshness.
Whether you call it a strawberry mint mojito or a peach-strawberry rum mojito, the result is a summer-ready cocktail bursting with flavor.
Tips for Making This Cocktail
- Muddle mint gently—press just enough to release the oils without shredding the leaves, which can cause bitterness.
- Fresh or frozen strawberries both work; frozen berries will make the drink slightly thicker and colder.
- To make a non-alcoholic version, replace the rum with ginger ale, lemon-lime soda, or a non-alcoholic spiced rum alternative.
- Add a splash of club soda if you want a lighter, fizzier finish.

How to Make a Pitcher Of This Strawberry Mint Mojito
To serve a crowd, multiply the ingredients. This single-serve recipe scales well; for example, multiply by eight for a pitcher-sized batch.
Keep a few tips in mind: prepare and serve the drink fresh to avoid dilution, and chill ingredients beforehand if possible. Assemble and serve right away for the best flavor and texture.
What if I can’t find peach lemonade?
If peach lemonade isn’t available, make a simple homemade version or substitute with classic lemonade, peach juice, or peach nectar. Using a different base will change the flavor slightly but still yield a delicious cocktail.
What is the best rum to use for this cocktail?
A black spiced rum adds depth and rich flavor, but any rum you enjoy will work. Choose a light rum for a brighter profile or a spiced rum for more warmth—both are great options.
Now that you have the recipe, give this peach and strawberry mojito a try this summer.
