This mojito mocktail is a non-alcoholic drink made with fresh mint leaves, lime juice, sugar, club soda and sparkling water. It’s the classic mojito without the rum! My version of the classic mojito recipe but without the rum!
So I’ve been going 75 hard for the last few weeks and that means no alcohol.
NO ALCOHOL.
But I’ve realized that as I get older, that alcohol doesn’t always agree with me and I’ve been doing fine without it. BUT, I miss my cocktails!
So lately,I’ve been on a mission to make a mocktail version of all of my favorites.
So naturally, I had to make a Mojito Mocktail!
This recipe is so good yall that I might nix the alchol for this one…forever.
Let’s get into it.

How to Make A Mojito Mocktail
How to Muddle Mint
The key to this recipe is learning how to Muddle your mint. To muddle means to break down or to break apart. When we muddle the mint for this recipe, we are gently crushing fresh mint leaves to release their flavor. The goal is to infuse the drink with the mint’s essential oils without making it bitter. I use a muddler in this recipe to keep from over-muddling. Which can make your mojito taste like toothpaste.
Muddle Ingredients: In a glass, combine the lime wedges, fresh mint leaves, and sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the ingredients together. This releases the lime juice and mint oils.
Add Ice: Fill the glass with ice cubes.
Pour Liquids: Pour the club soda and sparkling water over the ice.
Stir Well: Give the drink a good stir to mix the ingredients.
Garnish and Serve! :Garnish with additional lime slices and mint sprigs and enjoy!
