Simple syrup
To make your own strawberry limeade and mint mojitos, you’ll need to prepare a simple syrup for both. You can make the simple syrup in advance and store it in the refrigerator. White granulated sugar can save you time, and pureed strawberries can be stored in the freezer for up to a month. Alternatively, you can simply make the simple syrup and store it in the refrigerator for a few days.

White rum
A Strawberry Mojito is the perfect summer cocktail. This refreshing drink contains lime juice, sugar, and soda water.

Then, add ice to the glasses and stir.
Fresh strawberries

Fresh lime juice
