Preparing the ingredients for Virgin Strawberry Mojito
- Destem the strawberries
- Use fresh mint leaves instead of dried ones
- Take a fresh lime and squeeze the juice out.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Virgin Strawberry Mojito
- First, de-stem the strawberries
- Once de-stemmed, wash the strawberries and start cutting them.
- If the strawberries are small, cut them into half, otherwise cut the bigger ones into quarters.
- Put the cut strawberries and blueberries (optional) at the bottom of the glass (or a pitcher/jug).
- Add in the fresh mint leaves.
- Next, use the muddler (or the back of a spoon if you don't have a muddler) and gently start crushing the berries and mint leaves by pressing and twisting.
- Add Lime juice
- If you are preparing the virgin strawberry mojito drink in a glass, add the chilled sprite followed by crushed ice when serving.
- Garnish with extra mint leaves and strawberries or even a fresh slice of lime
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- The muddling process helps to release the flavor of the strawberries and mint.
- Garnishing the final product makes the drink look fresh and very appetizing.
- If you would like to make the virgin strawberry mojito drink in a bigger batch, use the pitcher/jug instead of a glass.
- Add the ice in the glass instead of the pitcher when serving to avoid diluting the entire drink. Then, pour the mixture prepared in the pitcher into the glass.
