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!

- 2 oz white rum
- 1 oz fresh-squeezed lime juice

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!

We definitely gotta get together for mojitos soon! I want you to try my recipe for sure.
Kristina says
Mojitos are my favorite too!! My hubby makes good ones- although it seems like youβre missing a lot of sugar that we put in ours lol!
Stephanie Whitman says
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!

Oooo love me a Mojito! So fresh!
Stephanie Whitman says
You and me, both! It’s just so delicious and perfect for summertime!
Taylor Aube says
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!
Stephanie Whitman says
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!
Rach says
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!
http://www.rdsobsessions.com
Stephanie Whitman says
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
Hillary Conheady says
This is soooo simple! I’ve got to give this recipe a try!!
Stephanie Whitman says
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!

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!
Stephanie Whitman says
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!
Yukti Agrawal says

Stephanie Whitman says
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!

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!

Jennifer Prince says
This sounds so delicious. And I love how you styled the photos, too. They look so pretty, and the colors are just perfect!
Stephanie Whitman says
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
Becky says
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!
Stephanie Whitman says
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!
