The Virgin Mojito keeps mint, lime, and sugar from the classic Cuban highball and skips the rum. Muddled mint oils and bright citrus still read as a mojito once soda lengthens the drink. It is a reliable summer zero-proof call.

“Virgin mojitos became a default restaurant mocktail because the mint-lime-soda structure still feels like a composed cocktail without rum.”

Bartender's Note
Muddle mint gently with sugar and lime—do not shred the leaves into bitterness.
