Virgin Mojito

When it’s Summer, all I want is something refreshing to cool down the temperature… be it at home, at the beach or at a friend’s.

When someone asks you to BYOB (Bring Your Own Beverage), it doesn’t need to be something alcoholic… but it doesn’t need to be something boring either. You can bring a punch, make sangria or take advantage of all the refreshing mint that evokes the freshness of summer.

Just a few ingredients and you’ll have a great non-alcoholic alternative that will make any pregnant mom or young kid feel like they’re not missing anything at all.

VIRGIN MOJITO

½ cup of Simply Limeade

The juice of 2-3 limes

½ cup of lemon/lime sparkling water or natural lemon/lime soda

2 tbs of brown sugar simple syrup or 2 tbs of turbinado sugar

4-5 mint leaves, sliced thinly or chopped

½ a lime, sliced thinly

Ice cubes

1. Add the lime slices, sugar and mint leaves to an old fashioned glass. Using a muddler or the back of a wooden spoon, smash together all the ingredients.
2. Add the limeade juice, fresh lime juice and sparkling water or natural soda.   Mix well with a stirrer and enjoy!!!
