What is in this frozen mojito recipe?

For this frozen drink recipe, think classic mojito ingredients. Here’s what you need:

  • Lime Juice: Fresh is best. You’ll need about 2-3 juicy limes for 2 ounces of juice.
  • Rum: Any kind of dark or light rum is great for mojitos.
  • Simple Syrup: For a little sweetness.
  • Mint: Fresh mint is the star ingredient! It adds fresh flavor and what turns these blended mojitos green.
  • Ice: Can’t have frozen mojitos without ice.
  • Sparkling Water: Added at the very end, the bubbles add a little texture.

Substitutions

Rum: We prefer white rum for mojitos. Lately, we’ve been loving Minnesota-made Skaalvenn.

Simple Syrup: Our honey simple syrup pairs wonderfully with mojito flavors, but regular works too.

Sparkling Water: Use your favorite brand of plain or lime sparkling water.

Add a frozen fruit

Make these mojitos extra special by adding another flavor! Try any of the following:

FAQ

Can you use mint extract instead?

We went back and forth whether to use fresh mint, mint extract, or both and it came down to one thing: flavor. Fresh mint gives a fresh flavor that you just can’t get with mint extract. Plus, it turns these slushies green!

How long should I blend these mojitos?

Blend everything together until smooth. The goal is to pulverize the mint leaves so there aren’t any large chunks floating around.

Storage

For best results, make these mojitos immediately prior to serving.

Turn them into popsicles!

Our watermelon wine freeze pops were a huge hit on social media. Simply make the frozen mojitos as directed, transfer them into plastic popsicle sleeves, and freeze.

Serving Suggestions

Add a little something extra to these frozen mojitos before serving! Top off with sparkling water and garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and another lime wedge.

I really like your Frozen Mojitos recipe and I will definitely try it once. And let me tell you about the fashion in this winter season, this Lindsay Lohan Falling for Christmas Red Coat is your best.

This was really easy to make and delicious.
This turned out so well that I am going to harvest mint while in season, puree with simple syrup and then freeze in ice cube trays so we can enjoy during winter months.

I made these for July 4th and they were a huge hit with my boyfriend. I ended up using extra ice to make it more like a slushie. Super refreshing & will definitely be making again!

This mojito recipe is great. I made it on a super hot day and it was very refreshing. I made half of a pitcher and I used about 8 limes, 2 cups rum, 1 cup simple syrup, around 60 mint leaves, and 4 cups ice. If I wanted it to be more slushy like, I think I could have used more ice. It came out great either way! I don’t like my mojitos too strong and this was just right!
