Virgin Mojito

Who can resist a refreshing and delicate mojito cocktail? The non-alcoholic, or virgin option offers a one of a kind experience that will convert any skeptic and will leave them savoring this energizing spring beverage. Here’s the famous mocktail recipe:

 Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon of sugar; 
• fresh minty leaves;
• lime;
• Soda water;
• A handful of crushed ice;

Preparation: 

1. Muddle the minty leaves and a wedge of lime. You’ll sense the great refreshing aroma all around you. 
2. Add the sugar (you can use agave instead, or any other sweetener of your choice, I prefer brown sugar) and mash it up. 
3. It’s time to freeze the aroma - fill the glass with crushed ice.
4. Finally, add the club soda and stir your Easter elixir. 

You can always customize your recipe. Go for seltzer water instead of club soda, or squeeze some more lime to the mix

• 2 cinnamon sticks;
• ½ cup of sugar;
