This Chocolate Mojito has all the flavors of a classic mojito cocktail plus the addition of chocolate. It has a nice balance of flavors.
Mint, lime juice, and chocolate taste great together. It also tastes great as a mocktail.
The inspiration for this recipe was my Chocolate Mojito Kombucha, which is sweet and tart.
Other mojito recipes to try are my Lavender Mojito, Passion Fruit Mojito, Lemon Ginger Mojito, Coconut Mojito, and Grapefruit Basil Mojito.
❤️ Why You'll Love It
- It's sweet, minty, and chocolaty.
- Made in minutes, it is light and refreshing.
- You can make it into a mocktail if you prefer. It's a great substitute for soda.
🧾 Ingredients
- 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.
- Lime juice: I used fresh squeezed lime juice. I don't recommend store-bought lime juice because it has additives.
- Chocolate simple syrup: Adds a sweet chocolaty flavor. It's made with brown sugar and cacao powder. Chocolate simple syrup also tastes great in coffee and Chocolate Bubble Tea.
- 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.

👩🏻🍳 Recipe FAQs
Light rum is what is traditionally used in mojitos.
Vodka would taste great in this mojito in place of the rum.
