Virgin Mojito Mocktail Recipe

Savor the delicious flavor of a mojito without any of the rum. The virgin mojito is an easy and quick mocktail drink created with fresh lime juice with a hint of mint leaves. It is a great family-friendly beverage for summertime picnics as it is laced with honey syrup and finished with club soda. Read ahead for the virgin Mojito mocktail recipe.

Ingredients: 

• A single lime
• Two tablespoons of honey syrup (adjust according to the taste)
• Ten mint leaves
• 4–6 ounces (around 8 to 12 tablespoons) of club soda or sparkling water
• One mint sprig for decoration

Recipe Method:

1. Slice the lime into 4-5 wedges and set a wedge aside for the garnish. Combine the leftover slices into a tumbler with the honey syrup. To get most of the lime juice out, muddle it thoroughly.
2. Mix in the mint and mix gently to extract the herb’s essence, breaking each leaf into tiny bits.
3. Fill the glass halfway with ice, then top it up with club soda or sparkling water. If preferred, add extra honey syrup. Stir vigorously to infuse both mint and lime into the ice.
4. Decorate with the slice of lime that was set aside as well as a sprig of mint before serving.

Coffee Soda

To prepare this coffee soda, you will need to produce a simple coffee syrup that gives just the right sweetness when blended with sparkling water. You should use vanilla-flavored instant coffee for the syrup to make the drink rich and wonderful. I recommend trying this coffee soda mocktail drink in the summertime.

Ingredients: 

• 1 cup of freshly brewed vanilla coffee
• 1/2 cup of sugar
• Sparkling water
• One lemon
• Ice cubes

Method:

1. Make a cup of vanilla coffee in your coffee machine.
2. After it is finished, prepare your coffee syrup in a small saucepan with your newly brewed cup of vanilla coffee.
3. Fill your coffee cup halfway with sugar and pour it into the saucepan along with your coffee.
4. Stir the mixture over medium heat until it has been reduced by half and has thickened into a syrup.
5. Fill a glass halfway with crushed ice and drizzle a generous amount of your newly made syrup. 
6. Add a splash of sparkling water and squeeze the lemon into the glass for a kick of flavor. Enjoy it once you have stirred it up!

Designated Appletini

Appletinis are a huge hit, but you can still enjoy an exquisite, fruity drink without the vodka. The designated appletini is a straightforward version of vodka martinis that combines lemon juice, apple juice, and simple syrup in a shaker. No one will distinguish if you serve it in a martini glass.

Ingredients:

2. Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice and the lemon juice, apple juice, simple syrup.
