Here is a classic, refreshing recipe for a Virgin Mojito<\/b>:<\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • \n

    Fresh mint leaves:<\/b> 8\u201310 leaves<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Fresh lime:<\/b> 1 lime (cut into wedges)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Sugar or simple syrup:<\/b> 1\u20132 tablespoons (to taste)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Club soda or sparkling water:<\/b> 1 cup<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Crushed ice:<\/b> 1 cup<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Step-by-Step Instructions<\/h3>\n
      \n
    1. \n

      Muddle the Base:<\/b> Place the mint leaves, lime wedges, and sugar (or syrup) into a tall glass. Muddle them together gently using a muddler or the back of a wooden spoon to release the juices and mint oils. Avoid over-crushing the mint to keep it from tasting bitter.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    2. \n

      Add Ice:<\/b> Fill the glass generously with crushed ice.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    3. \n

      Top Up:<\/b> Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is full.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    4. \n

      Stir & Garnish:<\/b> Stir gently with a long spoon to combine the ingredients. Garnish with an extra lime wheel and a sprig of fresh mint.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
