Let me show you how with just a handful of regular ingredients, you\u2019ll be able to make three incredibly refreshing summer drinks \u2013 3 kinds of virgin mojitos. Virgin, meaning they\u2019re non-alcoholic mojitos.<\/p>\n<p>But what is a mojito? It\u2019s 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\u2019re making today, are made with all of these except the rum. Let\u2019s 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\u2019t have any fancy equipment like muddlers, we\u2019ll add a smart twist, some Indian jugaad to the recipe. Let\u2019s 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>\u00a0<\/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>\u00a0<\/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&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&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&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!
