Easy Virgin Mojito for Summer: Step-by-Step Recipe
A Virgin Mojito is a non-alcoholic version of the classic Cuban Mojito. It keeps the same refreshing essence using mint, lime, sugar, and soda water. Simple ingredients create a bold, cheerful drink suitable for everyone.
The Mojito traces its roots to 16th-century Cuba, where sailors mixed lime for Vitamin C, mint for digestion, sugar for taste, and rum for courage. Over time, a sober star was born—the Virgin Mojito—keeping the refreshment while skipping the alcohol.
