Mojitos are refreshing drinks with rum mostly because of the mint aspect of the original. However, with every iteration, fruit is used to add flavor. That fruit adds another level of refreshment to the mojito. The best part of any mojito cocktail is that there is a flavor for everyone.

Cool drink recipes for a relaxing night 🙂
Love the varieties of mojitos. I’d love to try the mango one.
I don’t drink alcohol much but I do love a good mojito! I had no idea about mojito’s history and I’m so glad you added that information to your post. I would love to try the Passion Fruit Mojito and Watermelon Mojito.
Thanks for the mojito recipes! They all sound so good. This has got to be one of the best cocktails ever invented!
I’ve only ever tried a classic mojito, but all of these different flavors are calling me. I’m thinking this summer would be a great time to try each and every one!
Can’t wait for summer to serve some mojitos. That looks so refreshing and I’m hoping to get a sip right now. Thanks for compiling this list.
I am looking forward to summer nights and our get togethers with friends and family. These recipes will certainly come in handy.
This makes me wish the warm weather would hurry up. Funny enough I met my partner at a concert he was working at. He was promoting Malibu Rum. His name has been and will be forever Malibu Steve.
This is great! It’s good to know recipes that are refreshing especially this summer. I think it’s a lovely mix, perfect for when you have your friends over!
I always thought I hated mojitos, but these actually look good. I rarely drink alcohol, but I’m sure I could find a way to make them without it.
