📝 Ingredients
- ½ cup fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered
- 8 fresh mint leaves
- 2 oz Tito’s Handmade Vodka
- 1 oz coconut water
- ½ oz fresh lime juice
- ½ oz simple syrup (1 part sugar, 1 part water)
- Club soda, to top
- Ice
- Strawberry slices and mint sprigs, for garnish
🍹 Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Muddle the Good Stuff
In a cocktail shaker or mixing glass, gently muddle the strawberries and mint leaves. You’re looking to release their flavors—not pulverize—so be gentle.
2. Build the Base
Pour in:
- Tito’s Handmade Vodka
- Coconut water
- Fresh lime juice
- Simple syrup
Give it a quick swirl or light stir.
3. Shake to Chill
Add a handful of ice to the shaker, then shake vigorously for 15 seconds until nicely chilled.
4. Pour & Top
Strain the mixture into a glass filled with fresh ice. Top with club soda to add that signature mojito sparkle.
5. Garnish & Serve
Garnish with strawberry slices and fresh mint sprigs for a vibrant finish.
💡 Tips for Cocktail Success
- Use ripe strawberries for maximum flavor and natural sweetness.
- Fresh lime juice only—no bottled stuff! It makes a big difference.
- Want a bit more richness? Swap coconut water for coconut milk for a creamy twist.
- No cocktail shaker? Use a mason jar and shake with the lid tightly sealed.

This mojito pairs beautifully with:
- Ceviche, shrimp skewers, or grilled fish tacos
