What is in a Raspberry Rhubarb Mojito?
White Rum
White rum is the base of this mojito, offering a light and crisp flavor that perfectly complements the fruity and minty notes. Choose a good-quality rum that’s smooth and not too overpowering, allowing the other ingredients to shine.
Raspberry Rhubarb Jam
Our Berry & Brine Raspberry Rhubarb Jam is the star of this cocktail, adding a sweet and tart flavor with a lovely texture. Made with in-season fruits, it’s a quick way to elevate your drink with rich, natural flavours.
Fresh Mint Leaves
Mint leaves bring that classic mojito freshness, balancing the sweetness with a cool, herbal note. Go for fresh, vibrant leaves—avoid any that look wilted or bruised, as they won’t have the same bright flavour.
Lime Juice
Lime juice adds the essential tang that balances the sweetness of the jam and the freshness of the mint. Freshly squeezed lime juice is a must for that bright, zesty flavour—bottled just won’t do it justice.
Soda Water
Soda water adds a refreshing fizz that makes the mojito light and easy to drink.

Products used in the Raspberry Rhubarb Mojito
Can I use frozen raspberries for this mojito?
Yes, you can use frozen raspberries if fresh ones aren't available. Just be sure to thaw them before muddling. Frozen raspberries may add a bit more liquid to the drink, so adjust the sweetness to taste. Berry & Brine’s raspberry rhubarb preserves can also enhance the flavor, adding a unique twist to this refreshing cocktail.
What type of rum is best for this Raspberry Rhubarb Mojito?
White rum is traditionally used in mojitos because of its light, clean flavor, which pairs well with the fresh mint and fruit. However, you can experiment with aged rum for a richer, more complex taste. The choice depends on your personal preference and the flavor profile you want to achieve.
Can I make this mojito ahead of time?
It’s best to prepare the Raspberry Rhubarb Mojito fresh for optimal flavor, but you can prep the raspberry rhubarb mixture in advance. Store the muddled fruit and mint in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, then add the rum, ice, and soda water just before serving to ensure a fresh, bubbly drink.
