This Mojito recipe is the best pitcher cocktail for a group. It’s summery and minty and so flavorful. You can save so much time mixing up one big pitcher of cocktails instead of individual drinks.
This recipe tastes exactly like a traditional mint mojito—the only difference is it’s made in a big batch!

Ingredients
- White Rum
- Simple Syrup (I used Mint Simple Syrup)
- Fresh Lime Juice
- Club Soda
- Fresh Mint and Limes (to garnish)
How to Make a Mojito Pitcher
In the bottom of your pitcher, muddle a large handful of mint leaves. Add simple syrup and lime juice and continue muddling the leaves in the liquid. This will release minty essence and flavor.
Pour your white rum into the pitcher. Then, refrigerate the pitcher until you are ready to serve.
Just before serving, top the pitcher with club soda, more mint leaves, and lime slices to garnish. I do not recommend putting ice in your pitcher because it could water down your cocktails. Instead, serve it with ice for each glass.
Garnish each glass with a lime slice and mint leaves. Enjoy!!
Tips for Making
- To maximize your lime juice, choose limes that are soft. If they are hard, it is usually a sign they are dry inside.
- If you don’t have simple syrup on hand, learn to make simple syrup. It’s super easy and fun to make.
- Skip putting ice in your pitcher so your cocktail won’t be watered down. Instead, serve it in glasses with ice.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you make this recipe ahead of time?
You can make this recipe up to a day ahead of time—just seal the top of your pitcher in the refrigerator. Wait to add the club soda until you are ready to serve.
What alcohol is best Mojitos?
White rum is traditionally used for mojitos. We recommend a mid-priced brand like Bacardi. If you only have dark rum, it is OK to substitute that in your recipe, but white rum is preferred.
Can I use vodka or tequila instead of rum?
Yes, it is a common variation to substitute vodka or tequila for rum in mojitos. If you do this, follow the recipe and just treat it as a substitution.
