Lemon Basil Mojito: Mom Themed Cocktails

This super easy mojito recipe is perfect if you want to shake things up with a cocktail! It is so simple to make and it feeds a crowd easily – perfect when inviting girlfriends or fellow mommas over! A classic mojito is made with mint leaves but adding basil adds to the flavor leaving you amazed and refreshed! The peppery pungent flavor of the basil complements the citrus taste of the lemons very well. Perfect combination!

Ingredients

3 mint leaves (I like more! If you love the flavor of mint as much as I do, you will definitely enjoy this drink.)
3 basil leaves (I also like more 😉 haha)
1 teaspoon simple syrup or liquid sugar
1-2 lemon wedges
1 lime wedge
Ice
1 ½ ounces clear rum
Club soda or lemon-lime soda

Directions

In a shaker or large glass, muddle fresh basil and mint leaves with sugar.
You’ll then squeeze lemons and limes on top of the mixture, then add the squeezed limes and lemons into the glass.
Add in the rum and fill the glass ½ way with ice. Shake it up.
Once it’s well shaken, add in more ice and top it off with club soda or a lemon-lime soda.
Add rum and lemon juice.

Isn’t it pretty? The taste is as delicious as it looks! If you want more cocktail inspired treats you’ll love these Margarita Cupcakes with their fun lime taste. If you’d like some family-friendly drinks try my Watermelon Lime Soda recipe or this Papaya Smoothie!
