    Ingredients for non alcoholic mojito with sprite

    ingredients for virgin mojito with sprite
    Just 4 ingredients!
    • Limes: I use both lime juice and whole limes.
    • Sprite: I love Sprite! If you want, you can use your favorite lemon-flavored carbonated drink or club soda, or any sparkling beverage you like. If your sparkling beverage doesn't have any sugar, you can add a liquid sweetener.

    HOW TO MAKE NON ALCOHOLIC MOJITO

    Step-by-step instructions

    STEP 1
    Divide the mint leaves between 2 glasses. Add 1-2 tablespoons of lime juice to each glass and muddle for about 1 minute. If you don't have a muddler, just use the back of a wooden spoon like I did.

    STEP 2
    Add lime slices or wedges, then the ice. Add the sprite. Then garnish with additional slices of lime or lime wedges and fresh mint leaves or sprigs of mint.

    Equipment

    You can use a cocktail shaker and a muddler to make this recipe, instead of glasses.

    TOP TIP

    Muddling the mint leaves helps to release all the amazing essential oils! This will give your drinks a unique aroma and it will also make them lot more flavorful!

    MUDDLER ALTERNATIVES

    You can still make this drink even if you don't have a muddler! Here are a few other items you could use:

    1. Wooden Spoon

    This is probably the easiest alternative for a muddler because it's one of the most available kitchen utensils. I use the tip of the handle to gently muddle the mint leaves and it works like a charm!

    2. Rolling Pin

    An ordinary rolling pin or a French rolling pin is another great alternative! Just make sure it's clean and there are no traces of food on it before using.

    3. Mortar and Pestle

    A mortar and pestle is a great substitute for a muddler. Of course, you want to make sure there aren't any traces of spices on it!

    I serve these in all kinds of glasses. You can serve them in highball glasses or even mason jars, if you like!

    VARIATIONS & SUBSTITUTIONS

    You can definitely make this mocktail with drinks other than sprite. Here are a few ideas:

    • Try this recipe with a flavored soda or sparkling water. I think ginger ale would be a nice choice, too!
    • Add a tablespoon of non alcoholic rum to each glass to make it taste like the original drink.
    • For an alcoholic version, add 2 ounces (60 ml) of white rum per glass, together with 1-2 teaspoons of sugar (or your favorite liquid sweetener) and add sparkling water or club soda in place of the Sprite!

    Baking Measurements:
    I have used weight measurements for all the recipes on this website. Even though I have also included American volume measurements for convenience, I highly recommend using a digital kitchen scale to weigh all ingredients for the most accurate measurements. Digital kitchen scales are more precise than cups, which is so important in baking, and they give the most accurate, consistent results. Happy baking!
