Enjoy the Cool, Refreshing Taste of a Mojito Mocktail (2024)

• To make honey syrup, mix 2 or 3 parts of honey with 1 part of water, stirring until it's an even consistency. Thinning it out helps the honey mix better into cold drinks.
• If you do not have a muddler, the back of a large wooden spoon can work. You can also use a rolling pin or similar kitchen utensil with a flat end. Alternatively, squeeze the juice from the lime wedges into the glass, add the mint and syrup and stir very well after adding ice.
• Mint beginning to wilt? Preserve the herb's fresh taste by making a mint simple syrup. Use it as a full or partial substitute for the honey syrup.

• Switch to simple syrup or use about 2 teaspoons of sugar instead of honey syrup. Raw and coconut sugars, as well as artificial sweeteners, work well, too.
• Use flavored sparkling water or soda to give the drink a bubbly lift. Citrus is a great choice, though nearly any bright fruit or combination of fruits can be fun. Since options like ginger ale and lemon-lime soda can be quite sweet, you might want to adjust the syrup.
• Add more fruits that pair well with mint. Muddle in fresh raspberries, pomegranate arils, or slices of cucumber, lemon, melon, peach, or pineapple. Or, switch to a sparkling apple cider or grape juice. A splash of pomegranate or pineapple juice is nice as well.
• Build on the herbal taste by adding lavender, lemon verbena, rosemary, or sage to the muddle.
• Incorporate a little spice with a ginger simple syrup.
