Description
Try this delicious non-alcoholic Raspberry Mojito which combines fresh raspberries, juicy lime and crisp mint.
Ingredients
- 4 whole Fresh Raspberries, Plus More For Garnish
- 6 whole Mint Leaves
- 2 Tablespoons Simple Syrup (See Note For Making Your Own Simple Syrup)
- Ice
- ¼ cups Cran-raspberry Juice (or Just Raspberry Juice If You Can Find It)
- 2 Tablespoons Fresh Lime Juice (approx. 1/2 Medium-large Lime)
- ½ cups Club Soda Or Sparkling Mineral Water
Preparation
Note: To make a simple syrup, combine 1 cup granulated sugar with 1 cup water (or just equal parts, if making more or less) in a medium sauce pan. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until it begins to boil and sugar is completely dissolved. Allow to cool.
In a tall glass, add raspberries, mint leaves and the simple syrup. Muddle (squish with the back of a wooden spoon) well until the mint, simple syrup and raspberries are well-combined. If possible, try not to break apart the mint leaves, as this (in my opinion) will make for a less pleasant drinking experience.
Fill the glass with ice. Add cran-raspberry juice, then lime juice and then fill with soda.
Garnish with lime wedge or additional raspberries, if desired.
Enjoy!
