Mojito non-alcoholic

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make a non-alcoholic mojito? Prepare the ingredients. Wash and dry the lime and lemon thoroughly. Fresh mint should also be washed with cold running water and dried with paper towels.

2. Step 2:

   

   Cut the lime and lemon into thin semicircles or quarters. The shape of the slicing does not play a fundamental role here and will not affect the taste of the drink.

3. Step 3:

   

   Transfer the sliced citrus fruits to the container. Add the usual sugar. It is better to replace it with cane sugar, then the taste of the drink will acquire a pleasant caramel note. Or use a sweetener.

4. Step 4:

   

   Add mint leaves, which you tear into pieces with your hands beforehand or finely chop with a knife (you can grind in a mortar until the juice is released).

5. Step 5:

   

   With a fork or spoon, mash the lemon, lime and mint thoroughly. You can also grind the ingredients in a mortar. It is very important that the juice stands out from these components, so the cocktail will be even more saturated and fragrant.

   Spread the resulting mixture into pre-washed and dried glasses. Fill the contents with a sprite. Instead of sprite, you can use regular carbonated water without additives.

   Put some of the ice into the bowl of a blender. Whisk it to a state of coarse crumbs. You can also grind ice in another way. Wrap the ice cubes in a towel. Beat it a little with a rolling pin.

9. Step 8:

   

   Add ice chips (about 0.75 glass volume) and whole ice cubes to the drink. How to properly prepare ice? To make it transparent, use cold boiled or non-carbonated purified water. Do not take tap water, it will give the drink an unpleasant taste. Boil the water for about 2 minutes. Cool it down. Repeat boiling. Cool to room temperature. Pour into ice molds. Place in the freezer until completely solidified.
