Non-alcoholic Mojito Cocktail Recipe

Glass decoration

1. Let's start by decorating the glasses in which we will serve a refreshing drink. It is best to use tall and narrow glasses. Rinse thoroughly and then wipe dry with fresh lime. Instead of lime, you can use a juicy, ripened lemon. Cut the citrus in half, then cut a small slice and generously lubricate the edges of the two glasses with it.
2. Pour regular sugar onto a flat plate, and then dip the glass into it with the oiled portion down.
3. As a result, you should get a beautiful sugar border around the edge of the glass.

Making a drink

1. Rinse thoroughly, and then dry with a paper towel a couple of sprigs of fresh mint. We tear off mint leaves from the stem, and then send them to the mortar.
2. We send half the lime or lemon there, which we pre-cut into small cubes.
3. Both components are crushed with a pestle until a homogeneous slurry is obtained.
4. Add 10 g of granulated sugar to the resulting mass and continue grinding the ingredients with a pestle.
5. Visually divide the cooked mass in half, and then lay it out by the glass.
6. Peel a small piece of fresh ginger from the peel, and then cut off 4 of the finest circles from it.
7. Following the mint, we send two pieces of ginger to each glass.
8. We cut two thin circles from the second half of lime, and cut the rest of the citrus into small slices.
9. In each glass, drop 6 ice cubes and 2-3 slices of chopped citrus.
10. The remaining free space of the glass is filled with a sprite or soda.
11. As a decoration, we use whole mint leaves and cut circles of citrus.
12. Dip a cocktail tube into the drink and serve Mojito to the table.
