Let me show you how with just a handful of regular ingredients, you&#8217;ll be able to make three incredibly refreshing summer drinks \u2013 3 kinds of virgin mojitos. Virgin, meaning they&#8217;re non-alcoholic mojitos.<\/p>\n<p>But what is a mojito? It&#8217;s a Cuban cocktail drink and classic mojitos are made with 5 ingredients: sour lime, mint leaves, sugar, white rum, and club soda. On the other hand, virgin mojitos, the ones we&#8217;re making today, are made with all of these except the rum. Let&#8217;s see how to make virgin mojitos \u2013 low-cost non-alcoholic mojitos. But with some Indian jugaad.<\/p>\n<p>Bartenders use muddlers, a kind of wooden pestle to muddle sour lime, mint leaves, and sugar while making mojitos. But since in most homes, we don&#8217;t have any fancy equipment like muddlers, we&#8217;ll add a smart twist, some Indian jugaad to the recipe. Let&#8217;s see how.<\/p>\n<p>And though in a regular virgin mojito, sour lime is the only fruit included, by throwing in other fruits (fruit pulp or juice like mango pulp, orange juice, strawberry crush, etc.), you could make a variety of fruit-flavoured virgin mojitos.<\/p>\n<p>And also, do check out my recipes for two other refreshing home-made summer drinks \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/veenapatwardhan.com\/pat-a-cake\/2022\/09\/02\/quickandrefreshingsolkadirecipe\/\">Goan SolKadi<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/veenapatwardhan.com\/pat-a-cake\/2022\/04\/23\/howtomakequickjeerasoda\/\">Quick Jeera Soda<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lJHJwdADYzM\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>Ingredients<\/h3>\n<p><em>Regular Virgin Mojito<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Few wedges \/ pieces of sour lime<\/p>\n<p>8-10 mint leaves<\/p>\n<p>2 tbsp brown sugar<\/p>\n<p>OR 1 \u00bd tbsp regular sugar, powdered<\/p>\n<p>1 tbsp lime juice<\/p>\n<p>Pinch of salt<\/p>\n<p>3-4 mint leaves<\/p>\n<p>Crushed ice<\/p>\n<p>Club Soda<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Water Melon Virgin Mojito<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Few wedges \/ pieces of sour lime<\/p>\n<p>8-10 mint leaves<\/p>\n<p>1 tbsp regular sugar, powdered<\/p>\n<p>1 tbsp lime juice<\/p>\n<p>Approx. \u00bd cup crushed water melon<\/p>\n<p>Pinch of salt<\/p>\n<p>3-4 mint leaves<\/p>\n<p>Crushed ice<\/p>\n<p>Club Soda<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Mixed Berries Virgin Mojito<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Few wedges \/ pieces of sour lime<\/p>\n<p>8-10 mint leaves<\/p>\n<p>1 tbsp regular sugar, powdered<\/p>\n<p>Approx. 2 tsp lime juice<\/p>\n<p>3 tbsp mixed berry crush<\/p>\n<p>Pinch of salt<\/p>\n<p>3-4 mint leaves<\/p>\n<p>Crushed ice<\/p>\n<p>Club Soda<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-971\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/veenapatwardhan.com\/pat-a-cake\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Low-cost-non-alcocolic-mojitos.jpg?resize=500%2C400&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Low cost non alcoholic mojitos\" width=\"500\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/veenapatwardhan.com\/pat-a-cake\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Low-cost-non-alcocolic-mojitos.jpg?w=500&amp;ssl=1 500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/veenapatwardhan.com\/pat-a-cake\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Low-cost-non-alcocolic-mojitos.jpg?resize=300%2C240&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Procedure<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Chop a few sour limes into pieces.<\/li>\n<li>Indian jugaad!
