Non Alcoholic Mojito (mocktail) or Virgin Mojito is a refreshing blend of mint leaves, apple juice, lime juice, elderflower cordial and soda water.
When thebar asked me if I’d like to re-create one of their many awesome cocktail ideas to celebrate Valentine’s Day, I made a beeline for this Non Alcoholic Mojito.
Nothing says “I love you” more than making the effort to create something special. So if your loved one is driving over or is teetotal then I think this is the perfect special drink to start the evening.
With a mixture of mint leaves, apple juice, lime juice, elderflower cordial and soda water this Non Alcoholic Mojito is totally delicious and oh so elegant!
Equipment you’ll need to make a mocktail:
- A muddler, looks a bit like a mini truncheon and used for gently crushing the mint leaves.
- A jigger – a very small double ended measuring beaker.
- A cocktail spoon – a long spoon needed to stir your cocktail.
- A powerful blender/ice crushing attachment for stick blender needed for making your own crushed ice.
I do hope you give this simple but effective Mojito mocktail a go this Valentine’s Day or for any celebration.
If one of you is able to have a drink then you could always make an actual Mojito to go alongside and neither of you will feel left out as you’ll both be drinking 2 very sophisticated drinks!

Hi, I would like to know for the apple juice and lime juice we can use any brand or is there a specific brand??

Hi MJ, there is no specific brand for the apple juice but I would use a clear apple juice, not a cloudy one. The lime juice should be freshly squeezed.
