    Mint Drink

    If you have never made your own mojitos at home using simple syrup, soda water, rum, and lime juice. Also, it's time to make a change. In fact, this classic mojito cocktail is one of the best beginner cocktails to make. 

    While it is fun to sit at home and sip away on this tasty mint and lime drink, it is even more fun to share this recipe with your family and friends.

    While this mojito recipe is great for a slow sipper at the end of a long day, its great paired with one of our Easy Summer Appetizers next to the pool or picnic with friends.

    Having a fun get together with friends or making up a batch of this fresh mint cocktail with white rum is a great way to share the love! You're certain to become everyone's new best friend if you show up with drinks in hand!

    Can I use vodka instead of rum in a mojito?

    Many people actually prefer the taste of vodka to rum so the good news is that you can substitute out the rum and use vodka instead. Or, be daring and try both and see which ones you like better. Are you a fan of a rum cocktail or a vodka mojito? Further research is needed.

    Drink made with rum

    Does Virgin Mojito contain alcohol?

    Nope, not at all. And if you're wanting to prepare a drink for the kids where you don't add the rum or any other type of alcohol to this drink recipe, do so and let them join in on the fun. Just up with some soda water and add in more lime juice and sugar and they can sit with you and sip on their kid-friendly drink as well. 

    One thing is for certain. This simple mojito cocktail recipe will have you loving life and sip away the stresses of the day. How you decide to make it up is totally up to you but it's a great way to wind down after a long day or have a nice slow sipper with some friends!
