Raspberry Vodka Mojito is a light, crisp and delicious cocktail that everyone will love! Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just looking for something to kick off the weekend, I promise you'll fall in love with this cocktail. Make one just for you or a big pitcher to share with friends.
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.
Divide the raspberry mixture into two glasses, add ice and top each with about 1/4 cup chilled soda water. Mix.
Garnish with more mint leaves and raspberries, if desired. Serve immediately.
Make a Pitcher:
Place lime juice, sugar, vodka, raspberries, and lime quarters into a bowl and crush until the sugar is dissolved. You can use a cocktail muddler a potato masher.
Add the mint leaves and bruise; just enough so they release their flavor. Let all the flavors blend for 5 minutes. Transfer the mixture to the pitcher.
When ready to serve, add the soda water and gently stir.
Pour into ice-filled glasses and garnish with fresh raspberries, lime slices, and mint leaves (if desired).
Notes
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.
For a virgin mojito, skip the vodka and increase the mint and soda.
