Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this mojito without alcohol?

Yes! Just skip the rum and add more club soda or a splash of lemonade. It’s still refreshing and perfect for all ages.

What’s the best rum for a mojito?

White rum is ideal for mojitos. Choose a clean, light brand that doesn’t overpower the fruit and mint flavors.

Can I use frozen blackberries?

Yes, but thaw them first. Frozen berries release more juice, which can intensify the flavor and color of the drink.

How do I make it less sweet?

Reduce the sugar or use a sugar substitute like stevia or monk fruit. You can also add more lime juice for balance.

Can I prep this drink ahead of time?

You can muddle the ingredients and store the base in the fridge. Add ice and club soda just before serving to keep it fresh and fizzy.
