What could make a mint mojito taste even better? Limoncello of course. The Italian lemon liqueur adds so much flavor to to a mojito and it’s enhanced with fresh mint leaves.
I love limoncello so much that I’ve even made my homemade limoncello because that’s what real Italians do!

Limoncello Mojito
You’ll need only a few ingredients to make this delicious mojito cocktail.
Ingredients
The full, printable recipe is in the recipe card below.
- Limoncello
- white rum
- simple syrup
- lime (for juice and garnish)
- fresh mint leaves
- club soda
- ice
First, I make the simple syrup. You can buy simple syrup if you prefer. A simple syrup is just equal parts hot water and white granulated sugar. Stir it until the sugar dissolves.
What’s great about making your own cocktails at home is that you can control the sugar and alcohol. Make them as sweet (or not) as you like. Make them as strong (or not) as you like.
After I make the simple syrup, I muddle the mint with a muddler in the the glass in which I’ll be serving the cocktail. Then, I add crushed ice, rum, Limoncello, simple syrup, lime juice and a splash of club soda. Stir and garnish!
This Limoncello Mojito is so simple to make and TASTES SO GOOD! Fresh mint adds so much flavor! This is a perfect cocktail and very refreshing in the summer.
