I can't think of a better way to start out the week than to share this Sweet Cherry Mojito recipe. I have been enjoying some delicious Mojito recipes this summer.

This Sweet Cherry Mojito is a perfect fruity poolside cocktail or to relax with on a hot summer evening as you unwind.

No matter what time of day or occasion you sip on this Cherry Mojito recipe it is going to become your favorite mojito recipe!

To make a Sweet Cherry Mojito, you are  first going to have to make a sweet cherry simple syrup. Making a fruit flavored simple syrup is very easy to do.

Once you have mastered one fruit flavored simple syrup you will be able to use the same method to make pretty much any flavor of simple syrup there is.

Then you are going to become a simple syrup making ninja  and make all different types of cocktail recipes, different fruit flavored mojito recipes and even homemade soda recipes.

How to make Cherry Simple Syrup

  • 2 cups fresh pitted and stemmed sweet cherries
  • 1 ½ cups sugar
  • 1 ½ cups water
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  1. Place the cherries, lemon juice and sugar in a medium saucepan.
  2. Stir well until the cherries start to release their juice and the sugar starts to dissolve, about 15 minutes. Add water.
  3. Heat the cherries, water and sugar on low for about 15 minutes until the sugar is completely dissolved. Stir occasionally.
  4. Then turn the heat up to medium and bring to a low boil.
  5. Boil about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from burner and allow to cool.
  6. Strain over a fine mesh strainer to remove the solids.
  7. Store cherry syrup in a mason jar in the refrigerator. Will keep for 2-3 weeks.

    Loving how this mojito looks, and how easy it would be to change the flavor just by changing the syrup! Such a refreshing drink. 🙂 I hope you can stop on by and share this or any other recipe with us on Five Friday Finds!

      I am a bit Mojito obsessed this summer, as you can see but yes it is so easy to change the fruity flavor of a mojito by using a different flavor simple syrup.
