Strawberry mojito is a delicious and refreshing drink perfect to enjoy on sunny days. This drink is a variation of the classic Cuban mojito, enriched with the sweet and fruity flavor of fresh strawberries. The combination of mint, lime, rum and strawberries makes the strawberry mojito a balanced drink, perfect to fight the heat.
The recipe we propose to prepare a strawberry mojito is even more special thanks to the strawberry pearls we can add. These pearls are made with Agar-Agar, a vegetable gelling agent of marine origin that is used as an alternative to animal gelatin and has become popular in modern gastronomy for its ability to create innovative and surprising textures.
To prepare these strawberry pearls, the purée of strawberries is mixed with Agar-Agar and brought to boil until a kind of gelatin is formed. This mixture is then placed in a syringe and poured into a bath of cold oil. Upon contact with the oil, the mixture quickly solidifies and forms small pearls of intense flavor and smooth texture that are perfect for adding to the strawberry mojito.
These strawberry pearls not only add an elegant and sophisticated touch to the drink, but also provide an extra strawberry flavor that perfectly complements the traditional mojito ingredients.
This drink is very popular at parties and informal gatherings because of its fresh taste and its ability to delight the senses – get ready to taste an explosion of flavors in every sip!
