Virgin Mojito Recipe

Virgin Mojito recipe — All the fun. Zero regrets. Still the life of the party. Made with none. Originally from Cuba.

Proves once and for all that the mint and lime were doing most of the work anyway. Fresh, vibrant, and completely judgment-free.

The term mocktail only became mainstream in the 1970s. The virgin mojito predates the word for it.

Ingredients

• 1 oz Fresh lime juice (about half a lime)
• 0.75 oz Simple syrup (or 2 tsp sugar)
• 8 Fresh mint leaves (the star of the show)
• 4 oz Soda water (to top)
• Crushed ice (as much as you like)
• 1 Lime wedge (garnish)
• 1 Mint sprig (garnish)

Instructions

1. Add mint leaves and lime juice to a glass. Gently muddle — press and twist, do not shred.
2. Add simple syrup and stir.
3. Fill glass with crushed ice.
4. Top with soda water. Stir once gently.
5. Garnish with mint sprig and lime wedge.
