![Do you have any decor-related holiday traditions? 🎄
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A Christmas village has been part of my annual decorations for as long as I can recall! My mom put them on top of my piano when I was a little girl, and when I got older and moved out, I received some pieces of my own (with a few from my childhood mixed in). 🤎
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When I chose to renovate my living room this year, I knew I’d need to find the perfect new space to display my village, come Christmas-time. This gorgeous @sauderusa cubby shelf felt like it was *made* to show off all my favorite pieces! 😍 It has been so much fun to find new ways to #SauderStyle these shelves over the last few months! 🙌🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Each evening, I turn the lights on and feel a little bit of Christmas spirit come to life inside my heart. ✨ Which pieces would you want in your holiday village? 🏘️

When asked my drink of choice, I never have to think twice. It’s a classic, mint mojito. Refreshing, simple, and delicious.
A couple years ago, on a hot summer day, I perfected the classic mojito. It doesn’t have to be a ton of fuss and a mess of ingredients all over your kitchen. This recipe consists of four ingredients and you’ll be earning the title of master mojito maker in no time.
After noticing that National Mojito Day was on July 11th (and coincidentally, the day I wrote up this post), I decided I wanted to share my super simple recipe with you.
This is the perfect drink for everything from entertaining guests to relaxing outside on a warm summer evening.
You’ll want to save this recipe for later, because I can promise you’ll be enjoying this all season long. I’ve gone through my fair share of limes in the past couple of years just to make this delicious beverage!
4-Ingredient Mint Mojito
Ingredients
- 1 oz Keep It Simple Syrup – Spearmint
- 2 oz white rum
- 1 oz fresh-squeezed lime juice
- bubly Sparkling Water – Lime to fill the rest of the glass
Instructions

It’s literally SO simple it’s unreal. It took me like 5 minutes to make two drinks, which I love. No muddling of mint and it’s just super refreshing and delicious!
Great minds think alike! Mojitos are my favorite too❤️
We definitely gotta get together for mojitos soon! I want you to try my recipe for sure.
Mojitos are my favorite too!! My hubby makes good ones- although it seems like you’re missing a lot of sugar that we put in ours lol!
Well, I don’t muddle mint and mix in sugar – but the mint simple syrup is where the sweetness comes in. Don’t worry – it’s still sweet, but still super refreshing!
This sounds so good! I will have to try out this recipe, thanks for posting!

The secret to the simplicity is that simple syrup! It’s a game-changer!
Oooo love me a Mojito! So fresh!
You and me, both! It’s just so delicious and perfect for summertime!
Mojitos are so yummy and are a great cocktail because of the fresh ingredients they incorporate. Lobe me a little mint and lime, especially during summer time!
Exactly! What I love the most about this version is that there’s no need to muddle the mint or have it floating around in the cup!
Mm I love a good classic mojito! It really is the perfect summer cocktail. I would have never thought to use Bubly! I might need to try that!

Adding the Bubly was a recent change for me – I always just used club soda for the carbonation. I will say I like this addition because it’s a bit more lime flavor AND it’s extra bubbly hehe
This is soooo simple! I’ve got to give this recipe a try!!
If you do, let me know what you think. The secret is that simple syrup. So much easier than muddling fresh mint and just as tasty!
I turned 21 in February so I love trying easy drink recipes! This will be perfect for my friends this weekend. Super excited!
Oh how fun! I hope you get a chance to try this one out. It’s delicious!
I love the you use the Lime Bubbly to make this mojito! I’m not a huge mojito person but I do agree that they are so refreshing for summer!
Yeah! The Bubly was a recent change to the recipe because I always just used club soda before. But I love the added lime flavor!

I’ve had a coconut mojito at a restaurant and LOVED it, but never tried making it. I gotta put a spin on this recipe to add coconut flavors to it soon!
Who needs an occasion?! LOVE mojitos all day, everyday. Thanks for sharing this recipe. Will have to give it a whirl 🙂

I agree with you 100%! I made these at 3 in the afternoon and had one right after I wrapped the shoot. So delicious!
I love the way these photos turned out. Growing up in Florida, mojitos used to be my favorite as well. But in recent years, I’ve become a big fan of anything with elderflower in it.
Omg I love mojitos so much! I def need to try!!! I could use one right now!
Okay wow!!! These photos are amazing and I love your recipe! Bubly is SO good, too! I could drink those sparkling waters all day. Thanks for sharing this creative, yummy, mojito recipe 🤩

I loved your combinations in this classic Mojito and would definitely try out this one. It looks refreshing one as it as lemon juice in it.
I have actually never had a mojito! I’ve been living under a rock haha! definitely want to try this one out 🙂

Yes! Yes! Yes! I absolutely love making a mojito with fresh cut mint from our garden in the summer. Delicious! I’ll have to try your recipe. 🙂
Yum! I LOVE to order mojitos, but I’ve never made my own! This recipe looks completely doable though! I’ll have to give it a try.
oooh love the idea of the mint syrup because I am not a fan of the texture of the mint in my glass!!

Same here. I don’t really enjoy feeling like I need to floss after drinking a cocktail haha!

I’m not sure I’ve ever tried a cocktail with elderflower in it. I’ll have to do that soon!

You should definitely give this version a try. It’s become my favorite simple summer drink!

Bubly is a great drink on its own, and it adds such a great flavor and pizzazz to these mojitos!
Girl yes a mojito from Havana 59 is life! Should totally make this at home!
I’ve never had their mojito. I’ve had them at a couple other spots though and always loved them, so I was excited to test out my own recipe. This one has been perfected over the past year!
I loved your combinations in this classic Mojito and would definitely try out this one. It looks refreshing one as it as lemon juice in it.
Actually, there’s no lemon at all. A classic mojito is based around limes and mint – so I kept true to the original style with fresh lime juice and then added my own twist with the lime-flavored sparkling water!

It’s definitely a drink I think everyone should try at least once in their life. It’s my favorite because it’s super refreshing!
Yes! Yes! Yes! I absolutely love making a mojito with fresh cut mint from our garden in the summer. Delicious! I’ll have to try your recipe. 🙂
That certainly sounds yummy. I try to avoid muddling fresh mint because I don’t enjoy the texture in my drink – so I use a simple syrup instead!
Whattttt this sounds so simple! I have to try your recipe, it sounds perfectly refreshing!
It’s incredibly simple. It literally takes me 5 minutes to make 2 drinks and always turns out super refreshing and delicious. You’ll definitely need to try this out!
Yum! I LOVE to order mojitos, but I’ve never made my own! This recipe looks completely doable though! I’ll have to give it a try.
It’s been so fun to perfect my recipe over the past year. I’ve learned the right ratio of simple syrup to rum and now the addition of the lime Bubly is something I’m LOVING!
This sounds so delicious. And I love how you styled the photos, too. They look so pretty, and the colors are just perfect!
Thanks so much! I shared a BTS of the photos on my Instagram stories in a timelapse form. It’s crazy how long it can take to style these shoots sometimes hehe
I don’t have mojitos very often but I really like them. Usually I don’t make them at home because recipes involve muddling mint and who has time for that, haha! I really like the idea of using a mint simple syrup!
That’s precisely why I never made them at home either. Then I discovered this simple syrup and it totally changed my tune. It’s so refreshing and delicious and EASY!
Love a good Mojito. In summer it is a perfect refreshing drink with a kick 😉 – thanks for the recipe.

They’re the perfect summer beverage, in my opinion!

Agreed! There’s something about the lime and mint flavor that’s just extra special on a hot day!
Mojitos are my summer go-to! Thanks for sharing such an easy recipe. Love the photos, too!
They’re an excellent choice for the summer. Not too sweet, perfectly refreshing, and absolutely delicious!
Love it! Mojitos are one of my go-to’s in the summer!
You and me, both! They’re just the best beverage on a hot summer day!
Ok, I am definitely going to make this over the weekend!! I LOVE mojitos and I haven’t had one in AGES!!!
