Mojitos are my favorite drink of summer so this mojito recipe for camping is a winner. I love, love, love the lime and mint flavours because they just scream “summer” to me. If you have made mojitos in the past then you know that they can be finicky to make. Check out is Blue Curacao Mojito, Keto Raspberry Mojito or Blueberry Mojito for example!

How to make this mojito recipe for camping:
Okay here is what I do to enjoy mojitos while camping all summer long.
1. First I purchased this flat jug to mix the drink in and store in the camper fridge. This water jug from Amazon is similar to the one that I use. The unique shape is awesome for camping because it doesn’t take up as much space in the fridge or cooler as a traditional jug would.
2. Second I swapped 7UP for the simple syrup and club soda in the traditional recipe. It’s just easier to pack while camping and quicker to mix up. This jug holds about six 12 oz servings.
Ingredients:
- 2L 7UP (or Sprite)
- 2 limes, quartered
- 20 mint leaves
- 6 oz white rum
- Fresh raspberries or blueberries (optional)
More tips for camping meal preparation:
- Prepare meals in advance at home whenever possible. Leave most of the mess at home where running water is more accessible and clean up is easier. Trust me on this one!
- Create “one pot” family style meals for quick dinners that don’t require a lot of thought.
- Use tinfoil packets, foil pie pans or camp cookers. These tools help to make clean up a breeze!
- Pack ingredients in 1 gallon size freezer bags for flexible storage in small fridges and coolers.
- Plan meals that use similar ingredients to help make packing and planning easy. These Cheesy Vegetable Campfire Dip, Loaded Campfire Potatoes and Tinfoil Packet Nacho Dip recipes are some of our favorites.
- Use my blank printable meal plan or camping meal plans to help organize your next trip.

Mojito Recipe for Camping
Ingredients
- 2L 7UP (or Sprite)
- 2 limes, quartered
- 20 mint leaves
- 6 oz white rum
- Fresh raspberries or blueberries (optional)
Instructions
- First I purchased this flat jug to mix the drink in and store in the camper fridge. This water jug from Amazon is similar to the one that I use. The unique shape is awesome for camping because it doesn't take up as much space in the fridge or cooler as a traditional jug would.
- Second I swapped 7UP for the simple syrup and club soda in the traditional recipe. It's just easier to pack while camping and quicker to mix up. This jug holds about six 12 oz servings.
- Place the limes and mint leaves in a cup and muddle them together. If you haven't "muddled" you need to buy a muddler and "squash" the ingredients a bit, releasing the juices and fragrance.
- Pour this into the jug. Sometimes I put the lime directly into the jug and sometimes I just put in the lime juice because the lime and fruit can clog the spout if you are not careful. If you leave the lime in the mixture too long it can also become very sour.
- Add the remaining ingredients and chill. Serve over ice whenever possible.

How early can you make it ahead of time? I leave for camp on Thurs night and would like to make it tonight(Tues) is that too soon?
It should be good in the fridge for five days, a cooler for 2-3 days.
I found mine at a thrift store.
