    This Cherry Mojito is light and refreshing. It's the perfect summer cocktail.

    It also tastes great as a mocktail, which is how I like it. Since it's made with fresh or frozen cherries, you can have it any time of the year.

    Other cherry drinks are my Homemade Cherry Soda, Cherry Shrub recipe, and Cherry Kombucha recipe.

    ❤️ Why You'll Love It

    • It is light and refreshing; perfect for a hot summer day!
    • It's sweet and fruity with a wonderful mint flavor.
    • It also tastes great as a mocktail.

    🧾 Ingredients

    Cherry Mojito ingredients on a cutting board with labels.
    • Rum: I use light rum, which is the classic mojito ingredient. It is also known as white rum or silver rum. You could also use vodka for a vodka mojito.
    • Cherries: I used frozen cherries because I always have them on hand for smoothies. You could use fresh cherries if they're in season. You could also use cherry juice.
    • Fresh lime juice: I used freshly squeezed lime juice. I don't recommend store-bought lime juice because it has additives.
    • Agave syrup: Adds sweetness. You could also use simple syrup.
    • Fresh mint leaves: Adds the minty flavor mojitos are known for. I grow mint indoors. It saves me a lot of money since I love mint so much. Spearmint (or sweet mint) is best for mojitos. Peppermint is too strong.
    • Club soda: Any sparkling water will work.
