When I was in Riviera Maya Mexico, at an all inclusive resort, this was my go-to! I just had to re-create it for home. I might’ve been the only one in the resort drinking a virgin mojito, but they were gracious and didn’t look at me like I was crazy. 😃

What do you mean by Mocktail?

Mocktail is just a fancy word for a cocktail that doesn’t contain alcohol. I like fancy. Maybe you’ve heard non-alcoholic beverages being referred to as ‘virgin’, same thing. So, a mocktail does not contain any alcohol. If you’re into tropical vibes and sans alcohol you’ll definitely want to check out this Mexican Mango Mocktail.

How to Make A Mojito Mocktail

You’ll need:

• fresh lime
• fresh mint
• sweetener – sugar, honey, simple syrup, or an alternative. I prefer a stevia based one, because it won’t mess with your waist line. (I’ve done my research on sweeteners, and Truvia is one of my favorites)
• ice
• soda water
• muddler, or end of a wooden spoon

1. Squeeze the lime wedge into the glass to get the juice out, then drop the wedge in.
2. add sweetener of choice and mint leaves. Use the muddler or end of a wooden spoon to press the ingredients. This releases all the yummy flavors!
3. Fill the glass with ice and add carbonated water. Stir and enjoy!

Sugar options

When I was enjoying my mojito mocktails in Mexico, sometimes I told them to not put any sugar into it. Actually, I really liked it, even without sugar! But, I do like it better with some sweetener. It’s totally fine to use straight up sugar, it’s really a matter of preference, but I wanted to give you all the options.

• sugar
• honey
• simple syrup– this is just equal parts sugar and water heated so the sugar dissolves, and then cooled. You can also use honey in this, I did that in this Strawberry Mocktail.
• Truvia (my personal favorite)
• Swerve
• Stevia (either powder or liquid).
• Trim Healthy Mama Super Sweet Blend

Not all of these measure at an equal substitute, so keep that in mind and check the notes of the recipe card. Also, the finer the sugar the easier it will dissolve.

For a fun variation, whip up some Blueberry Simple Syrup and use it in place of your sweetener. Keeps it sweet with a burst of blueberry–delicious!
