Here's a step-by-step recipe for a Virgin Strawberry Mojito, a non-alcoholic version of the classic Mojito.
Virgin Strawberry Mojito:
Ingredients:
1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
1/4 cup lime juice (about 2 limes)
2 tablespoons sugar (adjust to taste)
1 cup club soda
Ice cubes
Lime slices and whole strawberries for garnish (optional)
Mint sprigs for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
In a bowl, muddle together the fresh strawberries, mint leaves, lime juice, and sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to crush the strawberries and mint leaves to release their flavors.
Once the strawberries and mint are well-muddled, transfer the mixture to a large pitcher.
Add ice cubes to the pitcher.
Pour the club soda into the pitcher and stir gently to mix the ingredients.
Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness or tartness by adding more sugar or lime juice if needed.
Optionally, garnish the pitcher or individual glasses with lime slices, whole strawberries, and mint sprigs.
Stir again before serving to make sure the flavors are evenly distributed.
Pour the Virgin Strawberry Mojito into glasses and serve immediately.
Enjoy this refreshing and alcohol-free twist on the classic Mojito! It's perfect for a hot day or any occasion where you want a delicious and fruity beverage.
