Add mint leaves to a jug or mason jar with the sugar syrup and freshly squeezed lime juice
Muddle them briefly until fragrant and tip into a highball glass with a handful of ice
Stir briefly to chill and top up with club soda or ginger ale. Garnish with a slice of lime
Our Mojito mocktail recipe is super easy to make, it pretty much calls for the same ingredients as our classic Mojito but without the rum. The only difference you’ll see is our Virgin Mojito ingredients swaps out sugar for a simple syrup. Follow our easy recipe, or use a store-bought simple syrup for this top mocktail hack. It gives our Mojito mocktail recipe the thick viscosity that mimics rum. Then all your need is fresh mint and limes, some ice and club soda or ginger ale to top up. Choose spearmint over peppermint, it’s easier to muddle being softer and sweeter. For the limes, pick bright green plump limes for that tangy tart sweetness a mocktail Mojito needs. Yellow limes are riper and maybe just a little too sweet.
Let’s get into how to make non-alcoholic Mojitos. While an extravagant cocktail kit isn’t needed to make this drink, a muddler does make things a little easier when crushing the mint leaves with the syrup and lime. For a DIY hack, a rolling pin or wooden spoon will do just fine to release the aromatics if you don’t have a muddler.
This tasty drink has a gentle fizz and is jam-packed with lime and mint, making it a perfect digestif after a meal. Fun fact: mint and lime are known to ease digestion! Since it’s so refreshing, our Mojito mocktail recipe pairs well with long hot summer days when you need something extra chilled. Easy mocktails are perfect for family gatherings as everyone can get involved, so make our Mojito mocktail recipe in bulk and serve it in a drinks dispenser for effortless entertaining.
