Super Simple Refreshing Drink: Strawberry Calamansi Mojito

by Mel

Here is a recipe for those who crave for a refreshing, non-alcoholic mojito – A Strawberry Calamansi Mojito.

The combination of mint, calamansi, sweetness from strawberry and fizzy water is so invigorating. Garnish with a slice of calamansi, this mojito looks like a fancy drink that you would get at a restaurant or bar. But the fact is that it is so easy to make at home!

I absolutely LOVE this drink especially after a hot day, all you need are five ingredients that are easily found in your pantry or supermarket near you.

This drink is also suitable for when you have a guest coming over. Just whip out those ingredients and you are good to go. This drink will definitely have your guests asking for more because it is THAT GOOD.

Here’s what you’ll need to make this mojito:

Fresh strawberries: The star of this mojito. I like to use fresh strawberries as it gives that harmony between sweetness and the sourness

Fresh calamansi juice: It adds bright, refreshing and tart flavour to the drink. You can always adjust the intensity of the flavour by adjusting the amount.

Mint leaves: You’ll infuse some mint leaves with the drink by blending them with the strawberries.

Sugar: For that extra sweetness. You can blend the sugar along with the strawberries.

Lemon soda: In this case, I use Sprite but you can use other type of soda.

Ice: Need I say more?

Lime: For garnish of course
