Virgin Mojito – Last week we went to a party where they were serving Virgin Mojitos. Virgin Mojito is a great summer drink. It is a mocktail that is made with lemon, mint, and soda/sprite. I am not much of a Mocktail person but this drink was so refreshing with its minty flavor that I had 2-3 glasses before I knew it.
You could guess all the ingredients even with one sip- mint, lemon, sugar, and soda for fizz yet all the flavors were blended really well. A perfect drink for all mint flavor lovers.
Its tangy-sweet flavor is so refreshing that one glass will never be enough 😉 😉 And it is one drink that your kids will love too. Always a bonus. Right 😉
Virgin Mojito will give a blast of flavors in your mouth. This is also a perfect drink to serve and impress your guests. Cool flavorful drink on a hot summer day makes it bearable.
It has never disappointed me 😉
To make Virgin Mojito
Chop the mint leaves. Cut the lemon into small wedges and remove the seeds carefully. Keep one aside for garnish. Crush mint leaves, sugar, and lemon wedges in a tall glass using a wooden spoon for lemons to release all their juice and to blend in the flavors. The crushing of mint and lemon is referred to as muddling and is generally done with a muddler.
Add ice and top up with Sprite and mix well. Garnish with lemon slices and mint leaves. Serve chilled.
Hope you enjoy this refreshing drink as much as my family does 🙂

Hello, id recently gone to a friend’s wedding at the Hyatt Regency mumbai. My friend asked me to try a mocktail at the live drinks counter and its name was ‘Basil Bush’. And i absolutely loved it. can you perhaps help me with the recipe of the same if you have an idea about it? Please let me know it would be of great help
Hi Dhrumil. Sorry I have not tried it yet so can’t help you with the recipe.

Am gonna try this tomorrow – weekend special. Will let you know my family’s response.
Do try sangeetha. Hope your family loves it.
Hi All,
You can also use polo candies instead of adding sugar and crushed mint leaves. You just need to break it and convert it into powder form.The rest recipe is same as you have to add polo powder,lemon pieces and sprite. I will also suggest you to use crushed ice cubes for a better taste.
You are just outstanding… I HATE cooking, but, I love trying the recipes on your website and my family is shocked to see me in the kitchen! 🙂 thank you!
Great Shreya. I will keep on posting no cooking required recipes for you 😉
Hi Nidhi!
We’re crazy about the mojito! This is perfect drink for summer, said my kids.
They all just can’t stop – LOL
Thanks Maria. Same thing happened with my kids.
hi…i tried the mojito and it turned out excellent. I substituted the sugar crystals with sugar syrup which made it faster and easier to make.
sugar syrup is a great idea especially if we are making more than one glass. I am glad mojito turned out good.
My husband loves mojito and this looks simple enough to try at home.
