    Cherry Mojito

    Last Updated: Aug 5, 2021

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    With just the right amount of sweetness, this refreshing and fruity Cherry Mojito is the perfect cocktail for any special gathering.

    A cherry mojito in a glass garnished with mint and a fresh cherry.

    It was my birthday this week! Whoop whoop! That calls for some serious celebration, right?

    Plus, Labor Day is this weekend. Long weekends ALWAYS call for a celebration and I'm all up for it. Fun celebrations merit a nice cocktail. So, I made these Cherry Mojitos! Say what?!

    Close up of lime slices in the mojito.

    I've been obsessed with cherries this summer. I've been literally eating them almost everyday. This is just one fruit I can't get enough of. So much so, that I made enough of this Cherry Simple Syrup to have around for my lemonades and Mojitos!

    Ingredients to make the recipe.

    Cherry Mojito served in two glasses with ice and mint sprigs.

    But, let me tell you about this Mojito. It's mildly sweet, bubbly and absolutely refreshing. All you need are some pitted cherries, some slices of lime, mint leaves, cherry simple syrup, rum, prosecco and ice. Add 2-3 cherries, 2 slices of lime and about 4 mint leaves to the bottom of the glass and press them with a wooden spoons to release the flavors. Add cherry simple syrup, rum, prosecco and ice. That's it! Nothing more to it. Just sit comfortably and enjoy!

    If you are having a bigger crowd over, double or triple the recipe ingredients and mix directly into a pitcher. There. Your Labor Day weekend has just been made.

    Cheers!

    I’m a working mom, whose love for food led me to start this blog as a resource for other busy parents. I’m passionate about creating quick and easy versions of the recipes I grew up eating to share with busy parents who want to cook foods filled with Latin flavors that don’t take a ton of time to prepare.

    It is my mission to show you that you can make great flavorful dishes at home without spending the entire day in the kitchen.
