Virgin Mojito Recipe
Craving a cocktail, but you’re doing a dry challenge, pregnant, or don’t drink? Enjoy this minty virgin mojito—you will love it! I love mojitos, but this one is a great alternative when I’m looking for a non-alcoholic beverage. I drank a lot of these when I was pregnant (funny because my daughter Madison loves them too). Do you miss the rum? Not really! A mojito has such strong flavors that omitting the rum doesn’t radically change anything.
What’s the difference between a nojito and mojito?
A mojito is a classic Cuban cocktail made of rum, lime, mint, and soda. A nojito is a nonalcoholic mojito without rum.

You can batch these nojitos for a party, so you don’t have to make them individually for guests.
Multiply the ingredients by the number of drinks you need and muddle everything in one big pitcher.
Right before your guests arrive, pour in the soda.
To serve, fill a glass with ice and pour the nojito to the top.
