Traditional Mojito vs Mojito Mocktails

A traditional mojitos and a virgin mojito offer distinct experiences for those looking to enjoy a refreshing summer drink. The classic mojito is a cocktail that combines the crispness of fresh mint leaves, the tanginess of lemon or lime juice, the sweetness of sugar, and the distinct kick of rum, all muddled together with ice and topped off with sparkling water. A traditional mojito creates a delightful balance of flavors combined with the kick of the rum.

On the other hand, mojito mocktails are non-alcoholic versions that capture the essence of the original drink minus the rum. The usual ingredients for a nonalcoholic mojito are mint, lime or lemon, sugar, and sparkling water. This combination creates a refreshingly zingy drink that is perfect for those who enjoy a mojito without alcohol.

Whether you opt for the traditional mojito with its spirited character or this strawberry mocktail version with its vibrant and refreshing nature, both options provide a delightful sip to quench your thirst on a sunny day.

Strawberry Mojito Mocktail Ingredients

There aren’t many ingredients in a traditional mojito and the same goes for this Strawberry Mojito Mocktail!

Fresh Strawberries – Fresh strawberries are essential for this recipe!

Lemons – A fresh lemon is the perfect complement to the sweetness of the strawberries. You can substitute a lime if you’d like as well!

Sparkling Water or Light Colored Soda – If you’d rather not add additional sugar, use sparkling water; however, if you prefer your drink a little sweeter feel free to use Sprite or 7-Up or other light colored soda. If you decide to use sparkling water, you can enhance the natural sweetness of your strawberries by adding a small amount of honey, maple syrup, or sugar.

Fresh Mint Leaves – You will need fresh mint leaves to make a strawberry mojito mocktail. If you don’t have them growing in your garden, you can usually find them in the produce section of your local grocery store.

Ice – Ice is optional but a nice addition to keep your strawberry mojito mocktail cold!

How to Make a Non Alcoholic Strawberry Mojito

Slice your fresh strawberries and lemons.

Add the sliced strawberries, lemon slices and mint leaves to a bowl or tall glass. I like these mason jar glasses!

Using a muddle or the back of a wooden spoon lightly crush the strawberries and mint leaves against the side of the glass to release the flavors. This helps release some of the strawberry flavor as well as a bit of fresh lemon juice.

Pour the sparkling water or light colored soda over the muddled fruit and mint leaves and give it a stir!

Add the ice and garnish with a fresh strawberry, a slice of lemon and a sprig of mint!
