Notes

How to Make a Strawberry Mojito Pitcher Recipe

For a larger group, let's make a pitcherful of the good stuff. It's made a little differently than the in-glass traditional version. You'll make a strawberry puree in the blender and a minty simple syrup (1 part water, 1 part sugar, and a few mint springs), since muddling is going to be difficult in a pitcher.

The rest is simple: ice, rum, club soda, stir. Then serve to your guests!
