Virgin Mojito Recipe
Craving a cocktail, but you’re doing a dry challenge, pregnant, or don’t drink? Enjoy this minty virgin mojito—you will love it! I love mojitos, but this one is a great alternative when I’m looking for a non-alcoholic beverage. I drank a lot of these when I was pregnant (funny because my daughter Madison loves them too). Do you miss the rum? Not really! A mojito has such strong flavors that omitting the rum doesn’t radically change anything.
What’s the difference between a nojito and mojito?
A mojito is a classic Cuban cocktail made of rum, lime, mint, and soda. A nojito is a nonalcoholic mojito without rum.
Fun: Just because it’s a nonalcoholic drink, it doesn’t mean you can’t have some fun. This mojito mocktail feels festive to have at parties. Versatile: You can play around with different flavors. Add strawberries, raspberries, passion fruit, or lychee for variations! Great Way to Use Mint: Every summer, I always have tons of mint in my garden, and this is a great way to use it! Refreshing: This mocktail is perfect way to cool off on a hot day.

Cucumber: Muddle a few cucumber slices with the lime and mint. Like things less sweet? Decrease the sugar to suit your tastes.
How to Prep for a Party
You can batch these nojitos for a party, so you don’t have to make them individually for guests.
Multiply the ingredients by the number of drinks you need and muddle everything in one big pitcher. Right before your guests arrive, pour in the soda. To serve, fill a glass with ice and pour the nojito to the top.
