Virgin Mojito
A refreshing mix of mint and lime with a hint of sweetness, a Virgin Mojito will be your new favorite mocktail of choice. This homemade non-alcoholic drink is perfect for kiddos and adults alike!
Ingredients
- 10 mint leaves
- 8 oz. club soda
- juice of one lime
- 2 tsp.-1 tbsp. agave syrup
- ice
Instructions
- Roll your lime back and forth on the counter to break up the membranes to make it easier to juice. Slice it in half.
- Juice your lime directly into a Cocktail Shaker or a tall glass.
- Add your mint leaves.
- With a Muddler or the back of a wooden spoon muddle your mint and lime together. You want to press on the leaves to express the mint flavor and infuse it with the lime juice.
- Muddle until the mint leaves are broken up and fragrant but not so much that it becomes a paste.
- Now add your agave and club soda. Stir or shake the mixture well.
- Taste and adjust sweetness if needed. I tend to like a sweeter mojito and use the entire tablespoon to sweeten mine.
- Strain your Mojito over ice and garnish with a slice of lime and more mint.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- If you do not have a Cocktail Shaker you can use a mason jar with a lid to shake your Mojito. i did so and it worked well.
- A traditional Mojito is not very sweet. If you do not prefer a sweeter drink you should be fine with the 2 tsp. of Agave. If you like things a bit sweeter like me go for the 1 tbsp.
