How to Make a Virgin Mojito Using a Mix

Mojitos can intimidate both amateur and professional mixologists because of the extra effort involved -- namely the muddling. Adult beverage manufacturers countered this problem with pre-made mojito mix, which includes the lime and mint flavors but none of the rum. Make virgin mojitos using a mix by substituting the rum with a suitable non-alcoholic substitute.

Things You'll Need

  • Tall glass
  • Ice
  • Club soda
  • Apple or pineapple juice
  • Rum extract
  • Rum syrup
  • Lemon-lime soda
  • Mint sprig
  • Lime slice

Juicy Fruits

  1. Fill a tall glass with ice, then pour 1 part pineapple or apple juice -- both of which will match rum's sweetness but have none of the punch.

  2. Pour 2 parts mojito mix into the juice and top with soda.

  3. Add a sprig of mint. For a little more flavor, add a drop or two of rum extract to the juice.

Syrupy Solutions

  1. Fill a tall glass with ice, then pour in 2 parts mojito mix.

  2. Add a couple of splashes of rum-flavored syrup.

  3. Top with soda, then stir with a straw and taste. Add more syrup if needed, then add a splash of lime and mint sprig.

A Spritz of Soda

  1. Fill a tall glass with ice, then pour in 2 parts mojito mix.

  2. Top with equal parts club and lemon-lime sodas -- the lemon-lime soda helps to bring out the lime in the mix without interfering with the other flavors.

  3. Stir with a straw, then add a splash of lime juice and a sprig of mint.
