About Strawberry mojito
The Strawberry Mojito is a refreshing beverage originating from Cuban cuisine, blending the classic mojito's mint and lime flavors with the natural sweetness of strawberries. Traditionally served chilled, this drink combines fresh mint leaves, lime juice, muddled strawberries, sparkling water, and white rum for an invigorating twist. Nutritionally, strawberries provide a dose of vitamin C and antioxidants, while lime contributes vitamin C and citric acid. The addition of mint may offer trace minerals and a cooling effect. While alcohol adds empty calories, the fresh ingredients bring some nutritional balance by supplying modest vitamins and hydration.
Health Benefits
- Strawberries are high in vitamin C, which supports immune function and skin health.
- Mint may help aid digestion due to its natural compounds like menthol.
- Lime juice is a good source of vitamin C, promoting collagen production and tissue repair.

Common Questions About Strawberry mojito Nutrition
What are the nutritional facts of a strawberry mojito?
A typical strawberry mojito contains approximately 120-150 calories per serving, mainly from sugar and alcohol. It offers minimal protein (less than 1 gram) and negligible fat. However, strawberries contribute small amounts of vitamin C and antioxidants, though these benefits are minimal due to the drink's other sugary components.
Is a strawberry mojito keto-friendly?
A traditional strawberry mojito is not keto-friendly due to the sugar used in the cocktail and the carbs in fruits like strawberries. To make it suitable for a keto diet, you can replace sugar with a keto-approved sweetener and limit the quantity of strawberries used.
Are there any health benefits to drinking a strawberry mojito?
Strawberries in the mojito provide small amounts of antioxidants and vitamin C, which may support immune health. However, the drink's high sugar and alcohol content can outweigh these benefits, potentially contributing to blood sugar spikes and empty calories if consumed frequently.
How much strawberry mojito should I serve per person?
A standard serving size for a strawberry mojito is about 8-10 oz (roughly 240-300 ml). To manage calorie and alcohol intake, it's best to limit yourself to one drink per occasion and pair it with water or non-alcoholic options.
How does a strawberry mojito compare to a regular mojito?
A strawberry mojito adds natural sweetness and subtle fruit flavor compared to a regular mojito. While traditional mojitos are primarily mint, lime, rum, and sugar, the strawberry mojito includes strawberries, which slightly increase the calorie count and sugar content, offering a sweeter and fruitier profile.
