Strawberry Mojito Recipe
How lucky are we to be in mild So Cal weather? Very lucky, but we’re not bragging. And hey, we have congestion and smog to add to our heat, so there’s always a trade-off with our mild weather! After a long work day when we’re in town, we spent quite a bit of time in the backyard pulling weeds, trimming excess branches and building up a hefty thirst. Normally we have quite a collection of ice cold bottles of Rose in the fridge, but mixing it up with summer cocktails keeps us inspired and energized to weed some more. As of late, the mint seeds we sprinkled in the garden is taking off beautifully. An abundance of fresh mint in these strawberry mojito drinks are always a fabulous late Spring and Summer quencher.

For berry lovers theres a great new reference and recipe book, appropriately called The Berry Bible. Every single page in this thorough book by author Janie Hibler is helpful for anyone wanting to expand their repertoire for berries, particularly to those to worship berries. Thus, The Berry Bible title.
Classic berries such as strawberries, raspberries and blueberries are covered in depth, but extra commentary on unique berries make this book even more fascinating. Buffalo berries, cloud berries and josta berries are just a few examples of unique fruits to school you to a higher level of berry knowledge. The Berry Bible doesn’t have any photographs, but rather, the valuable information, fresh recipes and interesting topics make it a worthy reference to have on your bookshelf.
Can You Use Other Berries for Mojitos?
Yes you can substitute different berries for our strawberry mojito cocktail! You can try this with muddled blueberries, blackberries or raspberries. There’s lots of possibilities to mix this recipe up with your favorite berries. Or you can do a mixed berry mojito and it will be equally delicious.

We tend to be a bit obsessive over our cocktail tools. Here’s some of our favorites we’ve collected and put to use over the years:
The Berry Bible by Janie Hibler – A great source of inspiration and recipes for berry deliciousness.
Yamachu Japanese Ice Pick – My favorite cocktail tool. With swag and great function, it’s perfect for us cocktail geeks.
Cocktail Kingdom Leopold Jigger – We have a dozen jiggers, but this one is my favorite. Love the copper-plating, quickly gives a lived in patina. Love the lines on the inside marking off different measurements.

I love mojitoes and yours definitely looks refreshing,
The pictures are so stunning too!
Those look so nice and cool and refreshing and good!
I could totally use one of these right about now!!! And a big giant pool. Plus a raft. Yep… that would be perfect.
One thing I can grow is mint! I have strawberries and mint. I see these lovlies in my future very soon!
Ya know… this might be the PERFECT use for the three or four strawberries we have left in the garden. Our dog (Britta) gets to them before we do. 🙁 Now I know how you guys feel w/ Dante and Sierra!
Happy weekend! (What’s left of it.)

That’s why we needed a great use for just a few strawberries. Never going to get enough for a pie or such with the dogs around!
My boyfriend just got into making mojitos. I can’t wait to tell him about this new variation it sounds so refreshing (is it possible to be more refreshing than pure mint itself?).
Lovelove mojito’s, very refreshing for the summer!
I’m having a giveaway at my food blog, check it out here http://atasteofkoko.blogspot.com/2010/07/ximending-giveaway.html
Believe it or not, it has been cooler on the west coast of Mexico than many parts of the US. Nonetheless, these colorful mojitos would be just as welcome. Thank you for the lovely photos.

What a mojito option. I’s a great way to turn the regular, boring drink into something sooo coool looking. 😀
Gorgeous photos and the drink sounds pretty awesome too!
Those mojitos look delish!
Yummy! These could be dangerous, happily dangerous. 🙂
Always been more of a beer guy than a cocktail guy, but those looks so delicious! May have to try this weekend.
I am dying to get my hands on a copy of The Berry Bible. We’ll soon have more raspberries than we can eat, and this looks like it would be the perfect answer.
There is not enough time to drink all the wonderful fruit based cocktails I’ve seen the past couple of days. Maybe I need to take a day off just to test. Strawberry Mojito for breakfast, my own Lavender Lemon Martini for lunch and then a Watermelon something with liquor for dinner. The day off would be an absolute; not thinking I could accomplish a damn thing else!
These sounds delightful and perfect for a hot Summer evening. I am fortunate to have lots of blueberries still available locally, so I will have to take a peek at this book and see what else I can make that I haven’t already thought of!
