Summer Cocktail: Strawberry Peach Mojito

This post about my strawberry peach mojito recipe contains affiliate links.

Nothing says summer like a fruity mojito! One thing is I don’t like super minty mojito’s but love a combination of fruits that make it refreshing and light. My husband and I saw this mojito recipe on Pinterest (for a Peach Mojito) and wanted to give it a try. However, I did play around with it and put different things in it until it was perfect. I substituted simple syrup for sugar, added some lemon juice and fresh strawberries. I feel like quite the mixologist lately! This recipe also let me use my muddler for the first time which was fun. If you want a muddler, this is a great one.) Read more on how to make this for yourself below!
