Method
-
- Start by placing the lime wedges and fresh mint leaves in a sturdy glass. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently muddle (mash) them together to release the lime juice and mint oils. This step is essential for the flavor.
- Add the granulated sugar to the glass. The amount of sugar can be adjusted to your taste preference; you can add more for a sweeter mojito.
- Fill the glass with ice cubes, about two-thirds full.
- Pour club soda or sparkling water & Ginger Ale into the glass, leaving some space at the top.
- Stir gently with a long spoon to mix the ingredients and dissolve the sugar. Be careful not to over-stir, as it can cause the soda to lose its fizz.
- Garnish your Virgin Mojito with a lime wedge and a sprig of fresh mint. You can also add a straw for easier sipping.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Virgin Mojito on a hot day or whenever you’re in the mood for a zesty, alcohol-free beverage.
Notes
A Virgin Mojito is a delightful and non-alcoholic twist on the traditional Mojito cocktail. It’s a perfect choice for those who want to enjoy a refreshing, minty, and citrusy beverage without the alcohol. This recipe makes one serving, but you can easily multiply the ingredients to make more.
