How to make raspberry mojito?
Mojito is all about muddling fresh fruits with some fresh mint leaves and lime pieces. Usually, it is a rum-based drink. However, I do not use rum in it. Instead, I use sparkling apple cider which is free from added sugar.
For making this raspberry mojito just add few fresh strawberries, mint leaves and a thick lime slice in a serving glass directly. Muddle it using a wooden muddler. If you do not have a muddler, no worries! You can use the back of a wooden spatula to do this job. Then add crushed ice and chilled apple cider. Slightly mix to enjoy this freshly prepared bar drink at home.
I really love this kind of drinks because you can make them in single serving size. No need to make it in bulk and store the leftovers in the refrigerator. Make them whenever you want and enjoy the freshness of summer fruits.
Helpful tips!
- Use fresh firm ripe raspberries and use organic whenever possible
- Do not crush mint leaves and limes to make into a paste. Muddle enough to break the cells of mint leaves and lime to release the juices. A wooden muddler makes this job easier
- Use apple cider that does not contain added sugar. I use clean sparkling apple cider without any chemicals and added sugar
Health benefits
This mojito recipe is non-alcoholic. The liquid used in this drink is a clean apple cider instead of rum and sugar-loaded soda. The apple cider and fresh raspberries are enough to sweeten it. Which means this mojito is naturally sweetened. Since it is prepared using fresh raspberries, it contains all the benefits from raspberries.

Thank you, Christine. The wooden muddler in these images was made by my brother :). I love it.
I think the sparkling cider is a great idea!
I can’t drink alcohol. When mojitos came along they looked so delicious, but I couldn’t figure out a version I could have that would still have the flavor I wanted! I think you found it – I have to try that.
