    Mojito

    Mojitos are a traditional Cuban drink with white rum, sugar, lime juice, soda water, and mint. Here's a more traditional recipe by Alex Garcia, on Food Network.

    How will this raspberry mojito make your life easier?

    Plain water gets boring pretty quick, that's why I like to add simple flavors to my water to stay hydrated and enjoy something tasty. This anything-but-boring raspberry mocktail with lime and mint is a great way to enjoy water in the summer.

    Here are a couple other drink ideas:

    • Smashed Cranberry Mocktail
    • Tart Cherry Juice Spritzer
    • Sparkling Berry Lemonade
    • Mimosa Mocktail
    • Starbucks Copycat Passion Tea Lemonade

    What makes this mojito mocktail so good?

    raspberry mojito ingredients

    How do I make a raspberry mojito mocktail?

    mashed raspberries and mint in glass

    Start making your raspberry mocktail by muddling a small handful of each: mint leaves and fresh raspberries in serving glass.

    Add a few ice cubes. 

    raspberry drink with ice surrounded by ingredients

    Pour sparkling water, lime juice, and raspberry syrup into glass. Sprinkle a pinch of salt over. Mix. Garnish your raspberry mocktail with fresh mint leaves and raspberries, if desired. 

    Add salt? Yes, it brings out the tanginess of the lime and brings out all the flavors. Trust me, it's necessary in this raspberry mocktail.

    Substitutions/Tips

    • You can substitute the raspberries and raspberry syrup with any fruit/syrup. It'd be good with blueberry, mango, pineapple, or other slightly tangy-tangy fruit.
    • If you don't have fruit syrup, just add 2-3x the fruit to it, and muddle it all. The syrup adds a lot of raspberry/fruit flavor, so you'll need to substitute with enough flavor.
    • Substitute the sparkling water with flavored sparkling water, club soda, or even Fresca or citrus pop.
    • Other great add-ins: white rum.

    FAQ

    What is a mocktail and what are the best recipes?

    A mocktail is just a drink without alcohol, usually a cocktail without the booze added to it, or a drink with multiple ingredients. A couple great mocktail recipes are: this Raspberry Mocktail, Sparkling Apple Mocktail, Mimosa Mocktail, and this Smashed Cranberry Mocktail.

    What is the difference between a mocktail and mojito?

    A mocktail is a drink without any alcohol, a mojito is a Cuban cocktail. You can make a mojito mocktail by not adding the rum to it.

    What can I make with leftover ingredients?

    • Raspberry Syrup: Add it to Hot Chocolate or coffee. Make it into an Italian soda, add to your favorite pop, especially colas and citrus flavored ones.
    • Raspberries: Sparkling Berry Lemonade
    • Lime: Pomegranate Lime Mocktail, Refried Bean Tacos, Flat Iron Steak Fajitas, or Coconut Green Lentil Curry.
