If you love the classic Mojito, try this variation made with vodka! The Vodka Mojito is still made with fresh mint leaves and lime juice, its clean flavor is refreshing and just sweet enough!

The classic Mojito is made with rum and is slightly sweeter than this version. Using vodka provides a clean, crisp flavor. Herbal mint leaves, tart lime juice, sweet simple syrup, and fizzy club soda combine to create a cocktail that is oh so invigorating!

Vodka Mojito Recipe

To make a Vodka Mojito, you will need 2 ounces of your favorite vodka (we prefer Tito’s for this recipe) and an ounce of simple syrup this homemade recipe is best and only takes a few minutes to make. Plus you can use it for hundreds of other cocktails! You will also need just shy of an ounce of lime juice- fresh is best, 6-8 mint leaves, and enough club soda to top your glass, approximately 4 ounces.
