Ginger Mojito Mocktail Recipe
Indulge in the refreshing taste of a Ginger Mojito Mocktail, a non-alcoholic beverage that combines the zing of ginger with the sweetness of mint.
Ingredients
- 1 cup of fresh mint leaves
- 2 tbsp of fresh lime juice
- 1 tbsp of ginger syrup
- 2 tbsp of simple syrup
- 1 cup of club soda
- ice cubes
Instructions
- Start by washing the fresh mint leaves thoroughly. Once cleaned, gently pat them dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.
- Place the mint leaves in the bottom of a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, and use a muddler or the back of a spoon to muddle them gently. This helps release the mint’s aromatic oils, enhancing the flavour of the mocktail.
- Squeeze the fresh lime juice into the glass or cocktail shaker, directly onto the muddled mint leaves.
- Measure and add the ginger syrup to the mixture. Ginger syrup adds a delightful and slightly spicy twist to the traditional mojito.
- Follow up by pouring in the simple syrup. The simple syrup balances out the flavours and adds a touch of sweetness to the mocktail.
- Give the mixture another gentle muddling with the mint leaves, lime juice, ginger syrup, and simple syrup.
- Fill the glass with ice cubes, leaving a little room at the top.
- Pour the club soda over the ice cubes, filling the glass to the brim. The club soda adds a fizzy and refreshing element to the mocktail.
- Give the mocktail a quick stir, ensuring all the ingredients are well-mixed. Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint or a lime wedge if desired, and serve immediately.
