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.

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.
- Add ice and top with chilled soda water.
- Garnish with more mint leaves and raspberries, if desired. Serve immediately.
Tips & 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.
For a virgin mojito, skip the vodka and increase the mint and soda.
Storing & Freezing Instructions
IN THE FRIDGE: This refreshing cocktail is best served immediately and will not keep in the fridge.
IN THE FREEZER: I don’t recommend freezing this cocktail. It is best made fresh.
