What exactly is a Virgin Mojito?

A Virgin Mojito is the alcohol-free (zero-proof) version of the classic mojito cocktail. It uses the same core ingredients: mint, lime, syrup, soda, but no rum.

Can I make the Virgin Mojito if I don't have a muddler?

Yes. You can use the handle of a wooden spoon, a rolling pin end, or even a clean utensil to gently press the mint and lime. The goal is to release the mint oils and lime juice, not pulverize them.

Can children or pregnant people drink the Virgin Mojito?

Absolutely. Because the Virgin Mojito contains no alcohol, it is safe and refreshing for kids, expectant parents, designated drivers, or anyone who prefers to stay sober.

I don't like it too sweet. Can I adjust the sweetness for my Virgin Mojito?

Certainly. You can reduce or even omit the simple syrup. You can also try natural low-calorie sweeteners like monk-fruit or stevia. Or use less sugar and rely more on the lime juice and mint for flavor.

Can I make Virgin Mojito in a large pitcher for a party?

Yes, you can. For a crowd simply multiply the ingredients, Mix the lime, mint, and sugar base in the pitcher first. Add the ice and soda right before serving to keep the bubbles fresh and lively.

Can I use Sprite or 7Up instead of club soda for my Virgin Mojito?

You certainly can. However, those sodas are very sweet. If you use them, you should remove the syrup from the recipe entirely to avoid a sugar rush.

My mint leaves are turning brown in the glass. What went wrong?

You likely muddled too hard. Remember to press gently. You only want to release the oils. If you pulverize the leaves, they will oxidize, turn brown, and taste bitter.

How do I grow my own mint for mojitos?

Mint is one of the easiest herbs to grow. Plant it in a pot (not directly in your garden unless you want a mint jungle) in partial shade, keep the soil moist, and harvest leaves regularly. Within weeks, you'll have more mint than you know what to do with. Spoiler alert: you'll be making a lot of Virgin Mojitos.
