Equipment

  • Equipment Needed: Muddler, shaker, strainer, glass, measuring jigger

Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients
  • For the Cocktail:
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries hulled and sliced
  • 10-12 fresh thyme sprigs more for garnish
  • 2 tablespoons sugar or honey for a natural sweetener
  • 1 lime juiced
  • 4 ounces white rum
  • 1 cup club soda
  • Ice cubes
  • Fresh strawberries and thyme sprigs for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Method
  • Muddle the Ingredients:
  • In a mixing glass or cocktail shaker, combine the sliced strawberries, thyme sprigs, and sugar.
  • Using a muddler, gently crush the strawberries and thyme together until the strawberries release their juices and the sugar starts to dissolve. This step is crucial for infusing the flavors.
  • Add Lime Juice and Rum:
  • Pour the fresh lime juice and white rum into the mixture. Stir gently to combine.
  • Shake It Up:
  • Add ice cubes to the shaker. Secure the lid and shake well for about 15-20 seconds to chill the mixture.
  • Strain and Serve:
  • Fill two glasses with ice. Strain the mojito mixture evenly into each glass. Top off with club soda for a refreshing fizz.
  • Garnish:
  • Garnish with additional fresh strawberries and thyme sprigs for a beautiful presentation. Enjoy your Strawberry Thyme Mojito!
  • Variations
  • Berry Mojito: Swap out strawberries for raspberries or blueberries for a different berry flavor.
  • Non-Alcoholic Version: Omit the rum and double the amount of club soda for a refreshing mocktail.
  • Herb Infusion: Experiment with other herbs like mint or basil for unique flavor profiles.
  • Tips and Substitutions
  • Sweetener: Adjust the sweetness to your liking. You can use agave nectar, stevia, or maple syrup as alternatives to sugar.
  • Lime Juice: Fresh lime juice works best, but bottled juice can be used in a pinch.
  • Dietary Needs: For a lower-calorie version, use less sugar or a sugar substitute, and opt for a light rum.
