How strong is the peach mojito?
How strong of a peach mojito you make can vary depending on the type of white rum you choose and the amount of ice you add to your drink.
However, if you use a white rum that has an ABV of 40% and add 3 ice cubes per glass for this recipe, you can expect each drink to have approximately 9-10% ABV. That’s roughly equivalent to drinking fruit wine with the lowest alcoholic content or enjoying a pint of beer.

❤️ Why You’ll Love This Recipe

🥘 Ingredients
Simple fruits, plain white rum, and just a few a handful of pantry staples are all you need to get this cocktail ready to drink!
- Fresh ripe peaches: Fresh peaches are always your best option. But if they’re not available, you can use canned peaches instead.
- Lime: This helps bring out the zesty and tangy flavors that make almost every cocktail more refreshing.
- Mint leaves: They’ll enhance the aroma of your drink and add a vibrant color.
- White rum: Any brand will do, but I recommend using one with a 40% ABV so this recipe can turn out as good as it was designed.
- Simple syrup: This easy-to-dissolve sweetener is necessary to ensure uniform sweetness throughout your drink.
- Club soda: Make sure to chill the soda before using it so your cocktail doesn’t have to rely solely on the ice to stay cold.
See recipe card for quantities.
🔀 Substitutions
Lime: You can opt for lemon if lime isn’t available, but the citrus taste will vary slightly, so adjust the quantity accordingly.
Simple syrup: Honey and agave nectar will also work for this recipe but ensure to adjust according to taste as their sweetness levels vary.
🌈 Variations / Options / Add-Ins
The best part about serving this drink is you don’t necessarily need to stick to the original recipe every single time. Here are some of the best variations you can try to give fresh peach mojitos an extra exciting kick!

- Kid-friendly: If you have kids who can’t stand missing out on delicious food or drinks, consider making a non-alcoholic version. To do so, simply omit the rum from this recipe and add more soda and fruits.
