Virgin Orange Mojito is like taking regular Virgin Mojito to the next level. It is quite similar to virgin Mojito. I have just added some fresh Orange juice to it.

As this is the orange season, fresh Orange juice is quite popular in our house these days. You can use packed juice also for this drink but nothing can beat the taste of fresh oranges. Oranges are so sweet these days that we do not add any sugar to the fresh juice.

This is the best thing about the month of April. You can enjoy fruits of winters like grapes, oranges and summer fruits like mangoes, watermelons at the same time.

This is the other best thing about April. My balcony is full of these pretty flowers.

I have been thinking of posting some recipes with oranges for quite some time. So after Virgin Sangria, I am here with Virgin Orange Mojito. A juicy tasty mocktail with the nutritional benefits of oranges.
