Strawberry-Kiwi Frozen Mojitos

August 5, 2014 by Morgan 45 Comments

Jump to Recipe

When I bought them, I had every intention of using my fresh strawberries and kiwis into a fruity summer salsa.  I imagined scooping it on top of crisp tortilla chips or flaky fish tacos, and was enthralled at the idea.

But then I thought, What if I added rum to the salsa? That would be delicious. 

And then, What if I added mint to the rum-soaked salsa?!  Yes.  YES.

Strawberry-Kiwi Frozen Mojito. Fresh fruit, mint, rum, simple syrup, and ice makes this the PERFECT summer drink. It tastes even better than it looks!

And eventually I abandoned the whole fruit salsa idea in favor of Strawberry-Kiwi Frozen Mojitos.  While I’m positive that the salsa would have been out-of-this-world, I have no regrets.

You won’t have any regrets either as long as you make these Mojitos tonight.

Yes, I’m aware it’s a Tuesday.  Who cares if you have work in the morning?  Some things are too tasty to wait for the weekend.  Strawberry-Kiwi Frozen Mojitos just so happen to fall into that category.

If you need any more convincing, just look at the drink pictures.  Just for a few seconds.  That glass of pink and green frozen splendor is calling out for you.  DRINK ME.  DRIIIINK MEEEEEE.

Please excuse me, by the way.  I had the brilliant idea of adding a double shot of espresso to my coffee this morning, which wound up being a horrible decision on multiple levels.  If this blog post is all over the place, it’s because my body apparently cannot handle this much caffeine.  It reminds me of the time I decided to drink coffee and an energy drink while listening to O Fortuna before going to work.

Don’t ever do that, by the way.  It’s really a terrible idea, but you probably didn’t need me to tell you that.

But I digress.  This recipe.  These Strawberry-Kiwi Frozen Mojitos.  If you (like me) are going to need a little help winding down after a long (potentially highly caffeinated) day at work, this is how you do it.  With a ton of fruit, a generous “splash” of rum, a little sweet simple syrup, and the fresh boost of mint, all blended up with ice cubes for a few glasses of frozen comfort on this hot August day.

Well, what are you waiting for?

      Thanks, Tieghan! I actually was inspired to make them when I saw your beautiful tropical smoothies. Love the idea of contrasting fruit layers =)

    Out of curiosity. Last I looked a shot of rum equalled an ounce or 30 ml. The recipe calls for 3 ounces yet the description only mentions 1 shot in each half.
    What happened to the other shot?
