There’s just something magical about a drink that’s both refreshing and fancy — and that’s exactly what this Mojito Mocktail brings to the table! For more drink inspiration, check out this list of Easy Non-Alcoholic Drink Recipes.

If you’ve ever sipped on a classic mojito and loved the minty lime combo, then you’re in for a treat. This non-alcoholic version boasts all the bright flavors without the rum, making it perfect for summer parties, family gatherings, or a sunny afternoon on the porch swing.

And the best part? It comes together in minutes with just a few simple ingredients!

If you could see my herb garden right now, you would understand why I needed to make this drink. My mint has gone crazy, as I knew it would, so I have been trying to find recipes to use it all up.

🍃 Why You’ll Love This Mojito Mocktail

  • Kid-friendly and party-perfect – Everyone can enjoy it!
  • Easy to make with pantry staples and fresh mint
  • Naturally refreshing thanks to the combo of lime, mint, and fizzy bubbles
  • Looks super pretty in a glass (hello, Instagram-worthy!)

I love fresh drinks like this, but most of the time, they are laden with alcohol, which I do not drink, so I have to find creative ways to make those drinks and make them taste good!

This one is SO delicious. I am going to make it for some ladies at our next ladies' luncheon that we have.

🌿 Ingredients You’ll Need

  • 10-12 fresh mint leaves
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (or honey/simple syrup to taste)
  • Juice of 1 lime (about 2 tablespoons)
  • 1/2 cup club soda, sparkling water, or my favorite– Sprite!
  • Ice cubes
  • Lime slices and mint sprigs for garnish

Optional: Splash of white grape juice or lemonade for a twist!

🥄 How to Make a Mojito Mocktail

  1. Muddle the mint & sugar: In a tall glass, add the mint leaves and sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the mint — this releases all that lovely flavor!
  2. Add lime juice: Squeeze in the juice of a lime and give it a good stir.
  3. Fill with ice: Add a handful of ice cubes to your glass.
  4. Top with fizz: Pour in the club soda or sparkling water. If you want it a bit sweeter or fruitier, add a splash of white grape juice or lemonade.
  5. Garnish and serve: Pop in a lime slice and a sprig of mint for that extra flair.

💡 Jen’s Tips & Twists

  • Make it ahead by prepping the lime-mint-sugar base and storing it in the fridge. Add the soda just before serving!
  • Try flavored sparkling water (like lime or coconut) for a fun variation.
  • Turn it into a mocktail bar for your next cookout! Let guests mix their own with fresh herbs, citrus, and bubbly options.

Perfect Pairings

Serve this mojito mocktail with your favorite summer snacks or dishes, like:

  • Grilled chicken skewers
  • Fresh fruit trays
  • Tortilla chips and mango salsa
  • Or just a good book and a hammock 😉

Final Sip

Whether you're skipping the alcohol or just want something fun and fresh, this Mojito Mocktail is a summertime must. It’s crisp, cool, and full of those tropical vibes — without ever needing a passport.

So go ahead — sip, smile, and soak in the sunshine. 🌞
