A large batch of refreshing and sweet mojitos is basically a party in a pitcher. This bright and bold drink is perfect for serving at all of your get-togethers that deserve a bit of flair. Guests will know right away they are in for a good time when you whip out a Pitcher of Mojitos brimming with fresh lime juice and mint leaves! Whether you choose to make your boozy beverages with rum or vodka – or even as virgin mojitos – this fun recipe with homemade mint simple syrup is sure to set just the right tone for your gatherings. It’s even great for prepping in advance for a terrifically easy and amazingly delicious cocktail.

Mojito Ingredients

First off, a great mint mojito should include just the right sweet simple syrup. To make mint simple syrup you, well, simply need water, granulated sugar, and fresh mint leaves. That’s it! Now then, here is all that’s needed to make the best refreshing cocktail:

For the Mint Simple Syrup

1 cup water 1 cup granulated sugar 1 cup fresh mint leaves

For the Pitcher of Mojitos

White rum – like Bacardi (you do not need the most expensive/best rum) or use vodka in place of rum Mint simple syrup – or just traditional non-flavored simple syrup, if you prefer Lime juice – for that lovely sour bite to balance the sweetness of the syrup Club Soda – Soda water adds a bubbly kick for the most refreshing mojitos Ice Cubes

I also like to use some extra lime slices and mint leaves to garnish the glasses of this classic rum cocktail.

How to Make Mint Simple Syrup

You can purchase pre-made simple syrup from the store. However, a homemade simple syrup really makes this mojito recipe extra special. Give it a try and you’ll be sure to impress your guests with this incredibly easy recipe with great taste! You can choose to leave in or strain-out out the mint leaves. I like to keep them in because they have a softer texture than fresh mint leaves. No muddler for mint muddling required!

How to Make Mojitos

The base for this mojito recipe can be prepped ahead of time and kept in the refrigerator until ready to par-tay all vacation long! First, set out a large pitcher and pour in the rum, mint simple syrup, and lime juice. Stir the mixture until it is combined. You now can stick the whole pitcher in the fridge for up to a day, or continue preparing to serve mint mojitos immediately. When ready to enjoy, stir in the club soda and fill the pitcher with ice and lime slices, if you like. Garnish the glasses with a fresh sprig of mint leaves and lime rounds or wedges. Pour the mojito into glasses and serve. For an extra fancy and sweet treat, you can rim the glass with lime juice and raw sugar.

Mojito Recipe Pitcher Tips & Tricks

For more minty flavor, muddle fresh mint leaves in each individual glass before pouring the mojitos in the pitcher! Feeling fruity? Substitute half of the white rum (or all of it) for a fruity rum like coconut or pineapple rum instead! Mojitos are usually served in a highball glass with plenty of ice and extra mint and lime for garnish!

Which rum is best for mojitos?

Generally, white rum goes best with mojitos. Any type of spiced rum will not taste good since we are mixing this will lime and mint. The lime and mint will really shine in your pitcher mojitos if you use white rum!

Can I Make this Mojito Pitcher Recipe with Vodka?

Absolutely you can make a pitcher of mint Mojitos with vodka! Just substitute the same amount of white rum traditionally used in this recipe with your favorite vodka.

How Do I Make this a Virgin Mojito Recipe?

For a delicious batch of non-alcoholic Virgin Mojitos, simply swap the rum or vodka for ginger ale, sparkling water, or even just more club soda.

What Other Flavors Can I Add to this Classic Cocktail Recipe?

Try adding some coconut cream to make a tropical and creamy mojitos recipe. Include other fresh fruits, like sliced strawberries, blackberries, or watermelon, to create delicious fruity flavor combinations.
