It’s not a secret that I’m not into drinking alcohol, that department is totally under my husband’s control, he loves combining and experimenting with different flavors, but today I can say that I’ve found a favorite, Vodka Raspberry Mojito.
WHAT IS A VODKA MOJITO?
This vodka mojito is a twist to the classic rum-based mojito. Made in a similar manner, this cocktail simply substitutes the mojito’s rum with vodka. The swap is great for drinkers who prefer a lighter and smooth cocktail.
You can make just one for you, or a big pitcher to share with friends and family.

HOW TO MAKE RASPBERRY VODKA MOJITO
Please check the recipe card at the bottom of the post for exact quantities and detailed instructions (scroll down).
- Place lime juice, sugar, vodka, raspberries, and lime slices into a pestle and crush until the sugar is dissolved. Add the mint leaves and bruise; just enough so they release their flavor. Let all the flavors blend for 5 minutes.Â
- Add ice and top with chilled soda water.
- Garnish with more mint leaves and raspberries, if desired. Serve immediately.
RASPBERRY VODKA MOJITO TIPS AND VARIATIONS
If you don’t have a mortar and pestle, place mint leaves in a small bowl and crush with the back of a spoon.
Mint leaves vary in size, and you can add less or more according to your personal taste.
I highly recommend using good-quality vodka. Citrus vodka is an excellent alternative to unflavored vodka.
You can substitute raspberries for strawberries, blueberries, or blackberries.Â
For a virgin mojito, skip the vodka and increase the mint and soda.
