In a small bowl, mash together some ripe strawberries, juicy blueberries, and tangy raspberries. You can use about 1/4 cup of each fruit.

2

Add the Fruit Mix to Your Glass

Once you have your fruity mix ready, add about 2 tablespoons of it to a glass. This will give your mojito that irresistible fruity twist!

Muddle the Fruit Mix

Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently crush the fruit mix in the glass. This will release all the delicious flavors and juices.

Add Mint Leaves and Lime Wedges

Now it's time to add some fresh mint leaves and lime wedges to the glass. Aim for about 6-8 mint leaves and 2 lime wedges.

5

Muddle the Mint and Lime

Using the same muddler or spoon, muddle the mint leaves and lime wedges together with the fruit mix. Give it a gentle twist to release all the aromatic oils from the mint.

6

Pour in Rum and Simple Syrup

It's time to add the main players to the mix! Pour in about 2 ounces of rum and 1 ounce of simple syrup. Adjust the quantities to suit your taste.

7

Give it a Good Stir

Use a long spoon or a cocktail stirrer to give your mojito a good stir. This will help the flavors to come together and ensure everything is nicely mixed.

Top it Off with Club Soda

To give your mojito that delightful fizzy touch, top it off with some club soda. Add enough to fill the glass, leaving a little room for ice.
