How to make Mojito Mocktail

Here are the ingredients you need to make these mojito mocktail, or virgin mojito:

• Lime juice – freshly squeezed from a bunch of fresh limes
• Club soda(unsweetened) – this is responsible for bringing the fizzy taste! Sparkling water, tonic water, seltzer water, and other carbonated water can be used as well. Avoid sweetened carbonated water. Because it is unsweetened, we will be sweetening our mojito mocktails with granulated sugar
• Mint leaves – adds a layer of brightness and freshness to these virgin mojitos.
• Granulated sugar
• Warm water – warm water instead of cold water so that sugar dissolves easily.
• Ice cubes

First, let’s make the syrup by dissolve sugar in warm water. Give it a good stir until sugar dissolves completely.

Tips and Tricks

A few things to note when making virgin mojitos:

• Taste the end product and adjust accordingly to your liking. Want it sweeter? Add more sugar! Want it zestier? Add more lime juice! Want more sparkling goodness? Add more sparkling water!
• Because Mojito Mocktails are made with sparkling water, when you leave it in the fridge overnight or for a long period of time, Mojito Mocktail will no longer be fizzy. If you want to make ahead, you can combine all ingredients except for sparkling water and ice, and only add sparkling water and ice when ready to serve.

There’s something beautiful about the pairing of lime and mint leaves. It leaves that fresh fresh fresh feeling you want to feel when it is crazy hot outside.
