Mojito MocktailCocktail recipe
Rating
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.

FAQ's
What makes the Mojito Mocktail a non-alcoholic variation?
The Mojito Mocktail is a non-alcoholic variation of the traditional Mojito cocktail. It omits the rum which is a key ingredient in the alcoholic version, instead relying on lime juice, mint leaves, sugar, and soda water to mimic the original flavor profile without any alcohol content.
How can I garnish my Mojito Mocktail to enhance its appearance?
To enhance the appearance of your Mojito Mocktail, consider adding a sprig of fresh mint and a slice of lime on the rim of the highball glass. Additionally, a few extra mint leaves or lime wheels inside the drink can add to its visual appeal and fragrance.
What is the best way to serve a Mojito Mocktail?
The best way to serve a Mojito Mocktail is cold. Use plenty of ice in a highball glass to keep the drink chilled. Stir the mixture well to ensure the sugar is fully dissolved and the flavors are evenly distributed. Serving it immediately after preparation will ensure the mint is vibrant and the soda water remains fizzy.
Is the Mojito Mocktail suitable for people on a low-sugar diet?
The Mojito Mocktail contains a relatively low amount of sugar, with just half a teaspoon per serving. This makes it a suitable option for individuals monitoring their sugar intake, although individual dietary needs and restrictions should always be considered.
Can I replace sugar with another sweetener in the Mojito Mocktail?

Alternatives like honey, agave syrup, or artificial sweeteners can be used to sweeten the drink according to personal preference or dietary requirements.
