Let’s dive into everything you need to know to make the ultimate Virgin Mojito!
Ingredients
- 2 limes
- 10 fresh mint leaves
- 2 tablespoons agave syrup
- Ice cubes
- 1 cup carbonated drink (soda water or sparkling water)
- Mint leaves, for garnish
Step-by-Step Virgin Mojito Recipe
1. Start by cutting the limes in half and squeezing the juice into a jug.
2. Tear the mint leaves into smaller pieces and toss them in with the lime juice. The mint releases its natural oils when torn, giving the drink its signature freshness.
3. Add two tablespoons of agave syrup to the jug and stir well. This creates a flavorful base that’s perfectly balanced between tangy and sweet.
Pro Tip: Prefer a sweeter drink? Substitute agave syrup with honey or sugar
4. Throw in a handful of ice cubes to chill your drink. Slowly pour the carbonated drink into the jug, stirring gently to mix the ingredients without losing the fizz.
5. Take a quick sip and adjust the sweetness if needed. If you’d like it sweeter, add a touch more agave syrup.
6. Crush a few extra mint leaves between your fingers to release their aroma and use them as a garnish.
7. Serve in glasses filled with ice cubes, and don’t forget to add a sprig of fresh mint for that perfect finishing touch.
