Description
The Virgin Mojito is a refreshingly cool, alcohol-free drink made with muddled mint, lime juice, simple syrup, and topped with fizzy club soda. It’s the perfect non-alcoholic cocktail for any time of year, especially on warm days when you crave something light, zesty, and ultra-refreshing.
Ingredients
6–8 fresh mint leaves
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 to 1½ tablespoons simple syrup
1 cup crushed ice
¾ cup club soda
1 slice lime (for garnish)
1 sprig fresh mint (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Muddle the mint leaves and lime juice in a sturdy glass to release the oils and citrus aroma.
2. Add the simple syrup and stir gently to combine.
3. Fill the glass with crushed ice to the top.
4. Pour club soda over the ice until the glass is nearly full.
5. Stir the drink gently to mix all the flavors without losing carbonation.
6. Garnish with a slice of lime and a sprig of fresh mint.
7. Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy!
Notes
Use fresh ingredients for best results.
Adjust the sweetness based on your preference.
Avoid over-muddling mint to prevent bitterness.
Chill all components before assembling for a longer-lasting cold drink.
