A Fresh Twist on Tradition

Dragon Berry Mojito

A refreshing twist on a classic cocktail! This fruity mojito will be your go-to cocktail all summer long.

Dragon Berry MojitoA few years ago during a summer break from college, Kyle and I vacationed in Las Vegas. We spent our days at the pool and our nights consisted of finding delicious food and drinks. The most memorable cocktail for me, was the strawberry mojito at Burger Bar in Mandalay Bay. Full of fresh strawberries and dragon berry rum it was the perfect way to end the day. I still think about it from time to time. 

I don’t know what took me so long to make my own version, but here it is. Simple, delicious, and fruity. I made a lime-flavored simple syrup and then muddle it with mint and strawberries. Top it off with dragon berry rum, ice and a splash of club soda and you’ve got yourself the perfect summer drink.

By the way, it makes a wonderful accompaniment to my chipotle chicken tacos.

If you’ve never had dragon berry rum, you need to try it! It’s a mixture of strawberry and dragon fruit and has a nice sweetness to it. If you aren’t into sweet and fruity drinks, this may not be the drink for you. However, you can easily cut back on the amount of simple syrup you add if you want a drink with more of a bite and less sweet. 

I’m pretty sure this dragon berry mojito is going to be my go-to summer cocktail. It’s the perfect way to cool down on a hot day, and will make a great poolside drink!

  1. Mojito’s are hands down my favorite cocktail! I think they are so refreshing and adding strawberry is the perfect summer twist. I just might have to make a batch of these this weekend to enjoy for mother’s day with my family 🙂

  6. YUM! I am so glad you decided to make your own version of the Mandalay Bay’s strawberry Mojito!! These look so refreshingly delicious, Keri!! And kind of dangerous, because they sound so good I bet it’s hard to stop at one (or two or three). I have never had Dragon Berry Rum, but you have me sold. I am most definately going to have to try it!! Cheers, pretty lady!

  7. I like the sounds of this! I’ve never tried dragon berry rum before. I’m excited to go back to Vegas a little older and wiser and enjoy the food and fancy cocktails scene…instead of drinking the foot long slushy drink and eating greasy food to cure the hangovers! haha they were good times though 🙂
