5/5

The Virgin Mojito is a delightful treat for those who love their drinks zesty and refreshing, blending the crisp tang of lime juice with the soothing sweetness of apple juice beautifully. Its muddled mint leaves add a layer of freshness that ties the components together, creating a mocktail that's as invigorating as its alcoholic counterpart but suitable for any occasion or time of day.
