Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make a non-alcoholic mojito? Prepare your ingredients. Wash the lime and lemon thoroughly and dry. Also wash fresh mint with cold running water and dry with paper towels.

Step 2

Step 2
Cut the lime and lemon into thin half-circles or quarters. The shape of the cut does not play a fundamental role here and will not affect the taste of the drink.

Step 3

Step 3
Place the chopped citrus fruits in a container. Add regular sugar. It is better to replace it with cane sugar, then the taste of the drink will acquire a pleasant caramel note. Or use a sweetener.

Step 4

Step 4
Add mint leaves, which you first tear into pieces with your hands or finely chop with a knife (you can grind in a mortar until the juice is released).

Step 5

Step 5
Using a fork or spoon, thoroughly mash the lemon, lime and mint. You can also grind the ingredients in a mortar. It is very important that the juice is released from these components, so the cocktail will be even more rich and aromatic.

Step 6

Step 6
Divide the resulting mixture into pre-washed and dried glasses. Fill the contents with a sprite. Instead of Sprite, you can use regular sparkling water without additives.

Step 7

Step 7
Place some of the ice in a blender jar. Beat it until it forms coarse crumbs. You can crush ice in another way. Wrap the ice cubes in a towel. Beat it a little with a rolling pin.

Step 8

Step 8
Add crushed ice (about 0.75 glass volume) and whole ice cubes to the drink. How to make ice correctly? To make it clear, use cold boiled or still purified water. Do not use tap water, it will give the drink an unpleasant aftertaste. Boil the water for about 2 minutes. Cool. Repeat boiling. Cool to room temperature. Pour into ice cube trays. Place in the freezer until completely frozen.

Step 9

Step 9
Garnish the drink with whole lime slices and mint leaves. Drink immediately after preparation, before the ice melts. Serve the drink with a cocktail straw.
