Storage Tips & Variations
It's best not to store this virgin mojito for too long. I usually serve it immediately for optimal taste and quality. However, you could keep it in the refrigerator for a few hours.
I love this strawberry mojito mocktail recipe as is, but you can definitely try different variations. Here are a few ideas:
- Berry Medley - Easily mix different berries, like blueberries or raspberries for a fruitier flavor.
- Tropical Mojito - For a tropical flavor, add some coconut milk, shredded coconut or pineapple.
- Mason Jar Mocktails - You can also serve this strawberry virgin mojito in mason jars for individual servings. This would be great for picnics or parties.
- Make a Frozen Strawberry Mojito Mocktail - Muddle the mint leaves with the lime juice. Then, instead of fresh strawberries and ice cubes, just use frozen strawberries. Just put them in a blender and blend until smooth. Then pour them into your glass, add the lemon-lime soda and give it a stir.
TIPS FOR SUCCESS
- Select fresh and ripe strawberries - I find that the best strawberry mocktails are ones made with fresh, ripe strawberries. Try to get strawberries that are ripe, but not mushy.
- Muddle with care - You don't have to use a muddler, but you could use the back of a wooden spoon or even a fork. Just be gentle when muddling the strawberries and the mint leaves. You don't want to tear the mint leaves apart completely and you should still preserve some texture with the strawberries, too. However, if you want to use straws, make the strawberries much smaller by putting them in a food process, otherwise, they won't fit in the straws.
- For the frozen strawberry mojito mocktails I often just blend the strawberries and store the puree in the freezer. You can freeze the puree for about a month. When I'm ready to serve, I just take it out of the freezer and let it thaw for about 15 minutes. Then I add the lemon-lime soda, lime juice and mint.
FAQs
