The mojito is such a classic drink. The fresh mint, the tangy lime juice and the touch of sweetness makes for a perfect drink. The exact origin of the mojito is still up for debate. Some say it started as a remedy for curing illnesses. Others say the drink was brought by pirates who invaded Cuba. No matter where the mojito was invented or how it came to be so popular, we don’t particularly care. We are just glad that virgin mojito is here and that it tastes oh so good.

Of course our version of the classic mojito has no alcohol at all. This recipe for virgin mojito is completely alcohol free and it still tastes completely incredible. We simply skip the rum and keep all the best ingredients that go into a mojito. Fresh mint leaves, fresh lime juice and a little simple syrup are all we need!

To make our simple mocktail, all you need to do is crush the mint, sugar, lime juice and simple syrup together in a glass. Be sure to really break those mint leaves so that the oils and flavor comes out. Add some ice to the glass, a touch of club soda and give the drink a quick stir. Your mojito mocktail is ready to enjoy! Pretty easy, right? Delicious mocktails don’t have to be hard and they don’t have to be complicated.
