This strawberry mojito mocktail is a refreshing and alcohol-free drink that has the sweet taste of strawberries, the crispness of mint, and the zing of citrus in every sip.
This drink is perfect for any time of year but is most often enjoyed in the summer. But it's also the perfect weekend drink or even a beautiful drink for holidays like Valentine's Day.
This drink was inspired by my raspberry mojito mocktail on this site, and pairs well with a slice of this Philadelphia no bake strawberry cheesecake.
