Who is ready for spring? Being that winter never really happened here in SoCal, I’m ready. I want spring flowers, longer days and—hey, some mojitos to sip by the pool.
Alright, who am I kidding, I can go for mojitos anytime! Specifically these Tropical, Mixed Berry and Fruit Punch Mojitos—go ahead try to pick your favorite. But before you do, let me start by saying the base of these mojitos all start with Simply Juice Drinks’ newest all-natural, made with simple ingredients flavors that they just launched – Tropical, Fruit Punch, and Mixed Berry. From there I picked up all my favorite fruits to infuse the drink alongside the rum, lime and sugar.
Of course I live in Southern California so most of the fruit you see is available year-round. So depending on where you live, choose your fruit infusions to your taste. What you don’t want to skip are the Simply Juice Drinks mentioned above.
For those wondering, the Simply Tropical is just that—full of tropical flavors you are familiar with, like mangoes and pineapples. For the mojito, I added in mango spears, kiwi and some blood oranges for a little acidity.
As for the Simply Mixed Berry vs. Simply Fruit Punch, the big difference here is Simply Mixed Berry has a fruity, tart bite you would expect from the mixed berries, while the Simply Fruit Punch is on the sweeter side. Both are infused with the same fruit, where they part is found in the Simply Juice Drink body. And both are equally good and equally ready for a mojito mixing.
Now that I’ve convinced you how to up your mojito game, get mixing!

These are so pretty and aesthetically deliiiightful (said with a British accent). I’m not crazy about juice but when I do drink it/buy it, Simply Tropical is mine and my husband’s first choice! So good and natural compared to other brands I’ve seen so far.
