This raspberry mojito recipe combines fresh berries with mint, lime, rum and club soda for a beautiful and refreshing cocktail. The perfect drink when it’s hot outside!
I like to have plenty of fun drink recipes on hand to offer my guests during the summer months. Some of my favorite options include vodka punch, a pomegranate margarita, champagne punch and this easy raspberry cocktail.
A classic mojito is cocktail perfection, but sometimes I like to change things up a bit and add some fresh fruit to the mix! Raspberry mojitos are a great addition to any gathering, and they take just minutes to make.

How Do You Make A Raspberry Mojito?

Add the berries, and muddle again to smash the raspberries. Pour ice, rum and lime juice into the shaker. Seal the cocktail shaker, then shake to combine. Strain the raspberry mixture into a glass of ice. Add club soda, and stir gently to combine. Garnish with extra lime, fresh berries and lime wedges, then serve.
Tips For The Perfect Drink
- This recipe makes a single mojito. You can easily make mojitos for a crowd by simply changing the number of servings in the recipe card. The ingredient amounts will automatically recalculate.
- You can use frozen raspberries instead of fresh, just thaw them first. Frozen berries are often more tart than fresh, so you also may need to add a little more sugar.
- Using the strainer on the cocktail shaker will still allow some of the raspberry seeds to go into the serving glass. If you’d like to prevent any seeds in your mojito, strain the raspberry and rum mixture through a fine mesh sieve before you place it in your glass.
- If you don’t have a cocktail shaker, use a mason jar instead, then pour the mixture into a strainer before it goes into the glass.
Quick Tip
Use freshly squeezed lime juice for the best results.

Flavor Variations
This raspberry mojito is delicious as-is, but you can change up some of the ingredients to fit what you have on hand.

- Club Soda: Try using lime flavored sparkling water instead of plain club soda for extra citrus flavor.
