How to Make Raspberry Mojito Mocktail

  1. In a large glass or cocktail shaker, muddle together 10 fresh raspberries, 6-8 mint leaves, and 1 oz of fresh lime juice until the raspberries are crushed and fragrant.
  2. Add 1-2 teaspoons of sweetener according to your taste and gently mix to combine all the flavors.
  3. Fill the glass with ice cubes and pour sparkling water over until the glass is full. Stir gently to mix.
  4. Garnish with extra raspberries and mint leaves for a beautiful finish!

Tips for Making Raspberry Mojito Mocktail

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Always opt for fresh raspberries and mint for the best flavor. Frozen or dried ingredients won’t deliver the same freshness.
  • Muddle Gently: When muddling the mint and raspberries, be gentle. Over-muddling can release bitterness from the mint and make the drink taste less pleasant.
  • Customize the Sweetness: Feel free to adjust the level of sweetness to your preference. If you like tart drinks, reduce the sweetener.

Make-Ahead Instructions

  • You can prepare the raspberry and mint mixture up to 2 hours in advance. Store it in a covered container in the refrigerator until ready to assemble your mocktails.
  • For larger gatherings, consider mixing a bigger batch of the raspberry syrup and adding the sparkling water just before serving to retain fizz.

Storing Leftovers

Since the mocktail is best enjoyed fresh, it’s recommended to consume it on the same day. However, if you have leftovers, store the mixture in the fridge for up to 24 hours without the sparkling water added.

Freezing Raspberry Mojito Mocktail

  • You can freeze the raspberry and mint mixture in ice cube trays. Once frozen, transfer to a zip-top bag for quick use in the future.
  • Thaw the desired amount in the refrigerator before mixing with fresh lime juice and sparkling water for a refreshing drink.

Reheating Raspberry Mojito Mocktail

  • The mocktail is meant to be served cold, so reheating is not applicable.
