    • Non-Alcoholic Mojito Mocktail Recipe

    This refreshing virgin mojito recipe is one of the easy recipes I sip every summer. With a quick, homemade simple syrup, fresh ingredients, and lots of fizz, virgin mojito mocktails are perfect for enjoying in hot weather without worrying about the dizzying effects of alcohol. (Read: What is a Mocktail?)

    Ernest Hemingway popularized the classic mojito cocktail and probably never dreamed of making it without white rum.

    This mojito mocktail recipe is full of many of the same refreshing ingredients as a classic mojito cocktail, getting its flavor from fresh ingredients. We're skipping the ginger ale and lemon-lime sodas that are found in many virgin cocktails. 

    This mint mojito mocktail is perfect for the whole family to enjoy. This is a particularly fun non-alcoholic beverage for the teenagers in your life who have outgrown the super sweet mocktails that are usually made for kids.

    Instead, with this delicious mocktail recipe we're creating a refreshing drink that's a little more elevated.

    What's in a Mojito Mocktail 

    Ingredients for mojito mocktails - club soda, simple syrup, mint, lime.
    • Fresh lime juice - Use only fresh squeezed lime juice for this recipe. It makes a big difference! You'll need about 1 lime per drink.
    • Fresh mint - Fresh mint is necessary for this mocktail.
    • Simple syrup - Homemade simple syrup is easy to make and lasts in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks, so you can make it well ahead of mocktail time.
    • Club soda or soda water - Use club soda or sparkling water in this one. Change it up by trying a flavored sparkling water like lime, strawberry, or blackberry.

    How to Make a Mojito Mocktail

    Add mint and lime juice to a highball glass. Gently muddle to release the oil in the mint leaves.

    Note the use of the word "gently." You’re not trying to tear up the mint leaves with your muddler, just bruise them a bit.

    Add simple syrup. Fill the glass with ice cubes. Top with club soda to fill the glass and stir.

    Garnish with a fresh mint sprig, and lime wedges or a lime slice. 

    Recipe Tips

    • Fresh ingredients are a MUST! There’s no substitute for fresh limes and fresh mint leaves in this recipe. None. Do not add lime flavor with bottled lime juice. Do not use Rose’s sweetened lime juice. Only use real limes and fresh mint. 
    • Add more fresh fruit flavor to your drink. Want to make a strawberry mojito mocktail? Add fresh strawberries! Or a mango mojito mocktail? Add fresh, ripe mango! Grab your favorite fresh fruit and add it to your glass first. Muddle to break up the fruit and release its juices, then make the drink as instructed. 
    • Try flavored sparkling water. Lime, strawberry, or blackberry flavored sparkling water is delicious in this mojito mocktail in place of the club soda.

    Want a Mojito Cocktail?

    The only alcohol in a classic mojito cocktail is white rum, so it’s easy to make both traditional mojitos with liquor and these mojitos without booze. >Get the recipe for a classic rum mojito.
