At gatherings, everyone enjoys eating meatballs, and this recipe won’t disappoint! Meatballs made of beef are cooked in a sweet and sour sauce. Instead of ground beef, you could also use ground venison.

Reviews
I used a premade mojito mix and just added muddled mint and strawberries. I used the basic recipe. It was delicious!
Great recipe . Amazing taste
Great recipe!
I am sure this recipe is great with lime, unfortunately, I only had lemons! It was delicious substituting one lemon for the two limes. We also used diet 7-up instead of club soda. Refreshing & light. Perfect on a hot day!
Way to go, Jolene! This is excellent! The first time I made it, I followed the directions exactly, hubby said it was too sweet. So afterwards, I’ve modified it…..I’ve cut the sugar to half and added Patron lime liqueur. For our taste buds-perfection! Also a great way to use the mint running rampant in my garden! Thanks again for a great recipe!
5 stars for this.!
Love it. Didn’t make any changes
It was great.
Like most reviewers I halved the amount of sugar and skipped sugaring the rim of our glasses. I also sliced the strawberries, no need to puree them like some people suggested, and muddied them thoroughly with the lime juice, mint, and sugar. I also used 1 1/2 cups of rum and 3 cups of club soda but left the ratios of everything else the same and let the pitcher rest in the fridge for about 30 minutes. We still got great flavor and then when we made the second pitcher using the lime, mint and strawberry bits left while adding new mint, strawberry, and lime on top. Like other reviewers said, you can totally do this with other berries or cucumber.
Awesome recipe!!! Used only half the sugar and was perfect!
Amazing!!! So so good.
Made exactly as stated and they were delicious! Will definitely be making these again!
Made these and doubled the strawberries. Used 1/4 of the sugar. SOOOO GOOD!
Great recipe -made this with Malibu Rum and it didn’t need the sugar -only added apprx 1 tbsp to recipe and rimmed glasses with lime and sugar. It was a hit 🙂
I made these just as written except for half the sugar suggested for my girlfriend and I for cocktails before dinner. We both had two and they were wonderful. Not to sweet and very refreshing on a warm night. fyi don’t forget that bruised mint 🙂
Will definitely halve the sugar next time as suggested! I didn’t have club soda, but was able to substitute with San Pellegrino just fine.
Needed a bit more sugar but fun. And a hit.
I substitued fresh rasberries for strawberry’s and honey for sugar turned out fabulous!
Awesome summer drink. Only change I make is to use half the sugar – otherwise it’s too sweet. You can substitute other summer fruits for the strawberries – great with peaches too!
This was great. I used 1 cup of 1:1 simple syrup instead of the sugar and everyone loved it.
Wow — Adding a juicy fresh strawberry to an already perfect fresh mint mojito is just the ticket for a summer cocktail. As a few others have done, I ditched the sugar and replaced with Splenda. Use 2 packs per glass. Upped the lime a bit, added more fresh mint leaves, and 1 large strawberry per glass. You really need to muddle the mint, limes & Splenda first, then muddle in the berry(ies). Totally yum!
