This Mojito Pitcher is a refreshing drink option for parties all year round! It’s a classic mint mojito that is perfect for serving a crowd. No simple syrup required!
I’m fully committed to providing you with drink options this summer. Today’s cocktail? A mojito pitcher recipe!
I haven’t been drinking much alcohol in the past ten years because I’ve either been pregnant, nursing, or a lightweight (maybe that one still holds true). Now that I’m moving into a new season of life, I’m all about having a cocktail, especially if there’s a gathering involved!
I’ve already shared our go-to gin and tonic recipe, and I have a few other exciting drinks I’m working on in the weeks to come! Today, though, we’re making sure you’re prepared proper for a party.
Pitcher cocktails for a crowd
We had a few people over last weekend, which rarely happens any more. It gave us a good excuse to clean the house (THAT was intense) and make a pitcher of mojitos to pass around.
Why make a pitcher of mojitos?
What’s great about making a pitcher cocktail is that it can serve as the signature house drink, allowing whoever is hosting to tend to food, fun, and conversation. I chose to go big with the mojitos because they’re so refreshing and summery!
I love that this recipe requires no simple syrup so it’s even faster and easier to make! Between that and how amazing it tastes, I have to say this is the BEST mojito pitcher recipe out there!
Mojito Ingredients
- Limes
- Mint
- Sugar
- Rum
- Club soda
How to make a mojito pitcher
- Muddle limes, mint, and sugar together in a large pitcher
- Add rum and club soda
- You’re done!
If you want to get a head start before the party, mix everything up except the club soda and chill until go time. I don’t like to let open club soda sit around too long ahead of time because it will loose some of its carbonation.
Tips for customizing:
- Muddle 1 cup of your favorite fresh berries in place of the limes
- Replace half the limes with 1 cup fresh chopped pineapple
- Skip the rum and add more soda water to taste for a mojito mocktail

Hi, I’m making this in a large container. Can you tell me how large is this pitcher? How many cups does the pitcher have?
Lindsay Moe says
I’m actually not sure how many cups the pitcher holds, I’m sorry! The one in the photos is pretty standard size and the recipe fills it about half way.
