Notes
Note 1 (sweetener): I like using monkfruit sweetener for a low-carb option. You can also regular regular sugar or another sweetener of choice.
Note 2 (non-alcoholic rum): this is an optional extra but does elevate your virgin mojito. I personally love the Lyre's White Can Spirit for this recipe. You could also add a dash of apple cider vinegar if you wish. Vinegar is a by-product of alcohol so can offer that 'bite' that often goes missing when we remove alcohol from a drink.
Yes, this recipe can also be made in a pitcher! Scroll back up to 'How To Make a Virgin Mojito Pitcher' which is just above 'Expert Tips' for full instructions.
