Cocktail recipe

Rating

4.9 / 5
The Mojito Mocktail is a non-alcoholic take on the classic Cuban highball traditionally made with rum. In this variant, the refreshing zesty flavour of lime juice is paired harmoniously with the cooling effect of muddled mint leaves. A touch of sweetness is added to the mix with sugar, which balances the tartness of the lime. Served over ice and topped with soda water, this mocktail offers a bubbly and invigorating drink that is perfect for those seeking a sober version of the beloved Mojito. The Mojito Mocktail is typically served in a highball glass, ensuring there is enough room for ice and soda to provide a cold and satisfying experience. With its bright and herbaceous profile, it is a popular choice for social occasions where an alcohol-free option is desired.
