Heartbreaker Raspberry Mojito

If you’ve ever wanted a cocktail that not only tastes amazing but also looks like it just stepped off the runway of a sparkly fashion show, the Heartbreaker Raspberry Mojito is your new best friend.

This is not your average mojito; it’s dressed to impress, with edible glitter, fresh raspberries, and a minty-lime zing that’ll have you swooning.

Let’s dive in and create some cocktail magic!

Ingredients You’ll Need

• 8-10 fresh mint leaves
• 3-4 lime wedges
• 2 teaspoons granulated sugar (or simple syrup)
• 1/4 cup fresh raspberries (plus extras for garnish)
• 2 ounces white rum
• Club soda
• Edible glitter (a pinch for sparkle)
• Ice (crushed or cubes)
• Raspberry heart garnish (made from halved raspberries)

Ingredient Breakdown

Mint Leaves: The soul of any mojito. Fresh mint adds an herby, cooling note. Pro tip: Give your mint leaves a gentle slap before muddling to release the oils. Yes, slap your greens—they’ll thank you for it!

Lime Wedges: Mojitos without lime are like birthdays without cake. These juicy wedges bring the acidity and zest you need for balance. Freshly squeezed is a must!

Granulated Sugar: A little sweetness ties everything together. If you’re feeling fancy, simple syrup dissolves easier and blends perfectly.

Fresh Raspberries: These little ruby gems bring a fruity depth and vivid color to the drink. Reserve a few for your garnish—because aesthetics matter.

White Rum: The star of the show. Choose a good-quality white rum to avoid overpowering the drink with harshness.

Club Soda: Adds the bubbly fizz that makes mojitos so refreshing. Avoid tonic water—it’s sweet and might throw off the balance.

Edible Glitter: For that extra pizzazz. Go light-handed unless you want your drink to look like a disco ball.

Ice: Keeps things chill, literally. Crushed ice is the traditional choice for mojitos.

Raspberry Heart Garnish: A cute, Instagram-worthy touch. Slice a raspberry in half and voila—a perfect heart.

How to Make A Heartbreaker Raspberry Mojito

Step 1: Muddle Like a Pro

In a sturdy glass, toss in your mint leaves, lime wedges, and sugar.

Grab a muddler (or the back of a wooden spoon if you’re in a pinch) and gently press and twist.

You’re looking to release the oils from the mint and the juice from the lime without shredding the mint into little bits. Think gentle persuasion, not annihilation.

Step 2: Add the Raspberries

Throw in the fresh raspberries and give them a quick muddle. This is where the magic happens. The raspberries will break down, blending their bright, fruity flavor with the minty-lime base.

Warning: it will look a little messy, but beauty comes later!

Step 3: Ice, Ice, Baby

Fill your glass with ice. Crushed ice is traditional, but cubes work too. The important thing is to chill your drink and keep everything snug.

Step 4: Pour the Rum

Measure out 2 ounces of white rum and pour it over the ice. This is where the party starts! Give it a gentle stir to combine the flavors.

Step 5: Top with Fizz

Top off your cocktail with a splash of club soda. Don’t overdo it—you want bubbles, not dilution. Stir lightly to mix without losing the fizz.

Step 6: Add the Sparkle

Sprinkle a tiny pinch of edible glitter over the top. Watch it swirl and glimmer like a romantic galaxy in your glass.

Step 7: Garnish with Love

For the finishing touch, add your raspberry heart garnish. Perch it delicately on the rim or float it on top for a flirty vibe.

Tips for Perfection

• Chill Your Glass: A frosty glass makes everything feel extra refreshing.
• Adjust Sweetness: Taste as you go. Too tart? Add a pinch more sugar or syrup.
• Go Heavy on the Mint: If you’re a mint lover, add a few extra leaves for an amplified aroma.
• Batch It Up: Hosting a party? Multiply the ingredients and make a big batch in a pitcher. Just don’t add the club soda until serving to keep it fizzy.

So there you have it, the Heartbreaker Raspberry Mojito: sweet, sparkly, and a little bit sassy.

Whether you’re sipping solo or impressing your friends, this cocktail is sure to steal the show.
