Refreshing Elderflower Mojito Mocktail
Elegant simplicity in a glass: A non-alcoholic mojito that balances elderflower's delicate sweetness with bright lime and fresh mint. This 5-minute mocktail requires no special equipment yet delivers sophisticated flavor perfect for any occasion—refreshing, aromatic, and visually striking.
Ingredients
- 1 small lime cut into small pieces, or half a large lime - Provides essential acidity that balances the sweetness of the elderflower
- 8-10 fresh mint leaves - Creates aromatic freshness and visual appeal
- 1 oz 30ml elderflower cordial or syrup - The star ingredient that provides floral sweetness
- 1 cup soda water or plain kombucha - Adds refreshing effervescence and lightness
- 1 oz 30ml non-alcoholic rum OR splash of apple cider vinegar (optional) - Adds complexity and that "bite" typically provided by alcohol
- Ice cubes - For cooling and dilution
- Garnish options: Extra mint sprigs edible flowers, lime wheels or wedges
Instructions
- Cut your lime into small pieces and place them in your glass. Press firmly with a muddler (or the handle of a wooden spoon) until the juice is released. Gently clap the mint leaves between your palms to release their aroma, add them to the glass, and press down very gently once or twice.
- Fill your glass with ice, then pour in the elderflower cordial or syrup. If using, add the non-alcoholic rum or just a small splash of apple cider vinegar.
- Top with cold soda water or kombucha, and stir gently from bottom to top. Add a fresh mint sprig and lime wheel as garnish, then serve immediately while fizzy and cold.
