Non-alcoholic mojito: the variants

If you don’t like tonic water, due to its bitter taste, you can replace it with sparkling water, even if the final result may be too light. In this case you can use the soda instead.

And for another more delicious variant , try crushing fresh fruit together with mint! You will make a truly original non-alcoholic fruit drink! In fact, you just need to enrich the preparation with some crushed strawberries, pineapples, or with peaches or any other juicy and seasonal fruit. This preparation of Nojito, in fact, is very neutral so you can really indulge yourself in the combinations of this non-alcoholic but not at all obvious cocktail .
