A Halal Mojito is a famous refreshing, non-alcoholic twist on the classic Cuban cocktail, perfect for those who avoid alcohol but still want to enjoy a vibrant, cooling drink. Made with muddled fresh mint leaves, tangy lime juice, a hint of sweetness from sugar or honey, and topped with sparkling water, this drink delivers a zesty, revitalizing experience. The addition of crushed ice makes it an ideal thirst quencher on hot days. A Halal Mojito offers the same bold flavors of a traditional mojito, but in a family-friendly, alcohol-free version.
Ingredients:
- 10 fresh mint leaves (plus extra for garnish)
- 1 lime (cut into wedges)
- 2 teaspoons sugar (or honey for a natural sweetener)
- 1 cup sparkling water (or club soda)
- Crushed ice (as needed)
- Optional: Sliced lime and mint sprig for garnish
Instructions:
- Muddle the Mint and Lime
In a sturdy glass or shaker, add 10 fresh mint leaves and a few lime wedges. Sprinkle in the sugar (or honey). Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the mint and lime together. This releases the mint’s essential oils and lime juice, which will infuse the drink with flavor. - Add Ice
Fill the glass with crushed ice. This cools the drink and ensures a frosty finish. - Pour in the Sparkling Water
Top the mixture with sparkling water or club soda. Stir gently to combine the flavors. - Garnish and Serve
Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime slice. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Optional Additions:
- A splash of non-alcoholic ginger beer can add a bit of spice and complexity.
- For an extra fruity twist, add some fresh fruit like berries or mango with it.
