Want to experience all the wonderous flavors of a carefully crafted cocktail without the headache, hangover, and numerous other side effects that come from drinking alcohol? Try this refreshing ginger beer mojito mocktail recipe!
Since it’s non-alcoholic, you could call it a “no-jito!” This super healthy drink will make you feel energized!
As a former alcoholic, I love a good mocktail! This may sound strange, but drinking a nice mocktail makes me want to dance and get crazy, haha! Maybe it’s just a mental association thing. Who knows?
All I know is alcohol never changed my health & behavior for the better – it only changed it for the worse. People say things like, “I can only dance when I’m drunk,” but I call bullshit. Men Without Hats told us long ago, “We can dance if we want to!”
Ginger Beer Mojito Mocktail Recipe Ingredients
For optimal taste and health, use only the finest ingredients, opting for organic or non-GMO whenever possible!
The recipe below makes 1 pint glass serving.
- 1 cup ginger beer. (I recommend Reed’s non-GMO, non-alcoholic ginger beer.)
- 1/2 cup pineapple juice
- 1 tsp agave nectar
- 1/4 lime squeezed and an extra slice for a garnish.
- Coconut brown sugar for the rim of the glass. (Less than 1 tbsp is needed.)
- 14 mint leaves
How to Make a Ginger Beer Mojito Mocktail
- You will use two glasses to make one cocktail; a mixing glass, and the finished drink glass. Store your finished drinking glass in the freezer while you mix the ingredients in the mixing glass.
- Pour the ginger beer, pineapple juice, agave, and fresh-squeezed lime into the mixing glass. Stir until the agave is well incorporated.
- Using a pestle and mortar, muddle most of the mint leaves saving the most attractive sprig that will be used as a garnish. If you don’t have a pestle and mortar, you may also cut them into fine pieces with a knife or scissors. You may also just put them in the drink as they are. I muddle mine because I love mint and want the flavor to be really noticable!
- Sprinkle coconut sugar into a bowl that is a little larger than the top of the pint glass.
- Take the frosty pint glass out of the freezer and dip it into the coconut sugar, face-down, so the sugar sticks to the rim.
- Drop the muddled mint into the bottom of the finished drinking glass.
- Fill the finished drinking glass with ice, stacking it on top of the mint.
- Pour the mixed drink into the finished drinking glass.
- Garnish with a mint sprig and slice of lime.
- Enjoy with or without a reusable straw!
