Refreshing Strawberry Lemonade Mojito Mocktail

Sharing is caring!

Strawberries are easily one of my favorite foods.  Not my favorite fruit, but food, in general. Growing up in Southern California, we always had access to really great strawberries, even during the off-season. And when they were in season?  HOO BOY! They’re like the perfect little sugar bombs, and you can’t just eat one pint. That’s why this Strawberry Lemonade Mojito mocktail is perfect for spring and summer.

Strawberry Lemonade Mojitos are easy to make. We’ll be teaching you to make the lemonade from scratch and build it up, but you can use a good quality lemonade as a base.  Love lemonade?  Check out our fab list of must try lemonades as well.
