Vodka Raspberry Mojito Recipe Highlights

This cocktail, you guys!! It’s so good. Fruity, refreshing with a little bit of kick!

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.

You can make just one for yourself, or a big pitcher to share with friends and family.

This easy-to-make Raspberry Vodka Mojito is a light and crisp cocktail that everyone will love! 

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).

  1. 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. 
  2. Add ice and top with chilled soda water.
  3. 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.

    Mojitos are one of my favorite drinks – so refreshing and I love adding fruit to them. I totally agree about Valentine’s Day too – way overrated! We usually stay home and make a fancy dinner at home, it way more special then going out to eat. I love they way you talk about your husband, so very happy for you!

  3. Lol I agree Valentine’s Day is overrated..Love is about celebrating everyday 🙂 But I look forward to this day only because of all the chocolates and desserts haha..I guess that’s allowed! This mojito looks so good Oriana, perfect to celebrate any special day! 🙂
