This light, refreshing Lemon Ginger Mojito is perfect for summer. Made with fresh ingredients, it is sure to please.
I have been making a lot of mojitos recently. It is my latest favorite cocktail. I actually made a Lemon Ginger Mocktail Mojito before this Lemon Ginger Mojito with ginger brew.
It inspired me to make a cocktail with minced ginger.
If you want some extra sweetness, you could make the mocktail version with light rum. I personally like this version when using rum, because it is lighter and not as filling.

🧾 Ingredients
This is an overview of the ingredients. To see the full list of ingredients with measurements and instructions, see the recipe card at the bottom of this post.
- Lemon juice: Fresh lemon juice is best. I do not recommend store-bought lemon juice because it has additives.
- Key lime juice: I love key lime juice, but you could use another variety.
- Club soda: You could use another type of sparkling water.
- Mint: It's not a mojito without some fresh mint leaves.
- Sugar: I used a little bit of sugar to help create a paste. You could leave it out.
- Ginger root: Fresh root is best. I do not recommend ground ginger for this recipe.
- Agave syrup: I like agave syrup because it has a neutral flavor. You could also use simple syrup.
- Light rum: Also known as silver rum or white rum. It's not a mojito without the rum!
