Refreshing Raspberry Mojito with Peaches
If you are familiar with MamaGourmand’s past drink highlights, you know fruit and alcohol are my jam. From a Prince-inspired raspberry martini with chambord, berry vodka drinks, our favorite blueberry mules, and a pear ginger vodka drink goes down easy in the fall. I have you covered for all seasons.
Mojitos, though, are a special essential classic cocktail I revisit time and again. Especially ones made with fresh fruit, like this raspberry peach version.
Muddling the mint, fresh lime, and sugar releases and blends the flavors. Top that with ice, rum, and soda water to make a bubbly, slightly sweet, and refreshing drink. It’s all about finding that perfect balance of sweetness with the fresh fruit shining through.
I’ve had many years of practice since I first enjoyed this classic cocktail on our honeymoon over 20 years ago. I’ll show you how to make the best fresh fruit mojito out there!
Not a rum fan? No worries. Use vodka interchangeably in this recipe. It’s still just as damn good. Another tasty option is to make a “dirty mojito,” which is explained more in the linked recipe, but basically adds a nice caramel or spice flavor.
Swapping Out Other Fruit
A raspberry and peach mojito pairs two bright, juicy flavors, but with this mojito recipe, the possibilities are endless. Just like a summer rose sangria, you can change up the flavors by adding different fruits and combinations.
- Fresh or frozen mango chunks
- Fresh watermelon cubes
- Fresh, cut pineapple chunks
- Blueberries
- Strawberries
- Leave out the fruit and simple muddle lime and mint for a classic mojito
Making Mojito Pitchers
Hosting a crowd? Make entertaining easier by whipping up a large batch in a pitcher. Either mix the rum in the recipe or leave the alcohol out.
When the party peeps arrive give them the option to keep it as a mocktail or add as much booze as they like! (Within reason, obviously. Don’t let the party get ugly.)
- In a large pitcher muddle together 32 mint leaves, 1 cut lime, and 4 ounces simple syrup.
- Add 1 cup of rum and ice to the pitcher.
- Top with 1 liter soda water and give a brief stir.
- Garnish with more mint leaves and squeeze in more lime juice to taste.
