Summers bring heat which is why we need a cool beverage which not only beats the heat but is also refreshing. In mood for a non-alcoholic beverage, look no further , let’s make some Garden mojito.

When me and my husband moved to the magic city of Florida-“Miami”, we were amazed at the vast culinary landscape that this beautiful city offered . Great options for food across every budget ranging from eclectic fine dining to local cafes . But there is one thing that bridges the gap between fine dining restaurant and local cafes, that is “Mojito”.

While my stay in Miami, I had so many different flavors of Mojito and honestly I cannot tell what’s my favorite because they all tastes so amazing and refreshing! If you happen to hang out in Miami and get a chance to visit Little Havana do visit Ball and chain as they serve of one the best Mojitos in town!

Mojito claims to be originated in Havana , Cuba! They are one of the Cuba’s oldest cocktail’s and generally made from mint, lime juice, sugar, rum and crushed ice.  There are various variations of mojito but most easiest and simplest is mint mojito. I have improvised mint mojito by adding more herbs and I like to call it as “Garden Mojito”!

Today’s recipe brings you flavors of Mojito without alcohol and with most easily available ingredients.

Oh well, as I write this post, I’m enjoying a glass of this mojito and I can’t even tell you how refreshing it is.

Generally mojito contains rum but we are replacing that with Ginger beer in this recipe. Well, its ginger beer and I am sure you must be thinking it as alcohol but you got to trust me it’s non alcoholic beer- It is produced by the natural fermentation of ginger spice, yeast and sugar !

If you do not have ginger beer handy, you can choose to use soda + little cane sugar- Make sure to dissolve sugar before pouring it into the drink.

In this recipe, I am using 3 different fresh herbs – mint, parsley and basil , but feel free to alter herbs as you like. If you plan to use only mint then double the quantity of mint.

Mint/parsley/basil leaves should only be bruised to release the essential oils and should not be shredded. This helps give the drink its flavor and texture.

Just add this directly to the glass with sugar syrup ,then add ice cubes or crushed ice, pour ginger beer garnish with few leaves of fresh mint, parsley, basil, lemon wedge, banana pepper and a strip of cucumber. Now, that’s why I call this drink as garden mojito.

Are you not tempted to have this drink ? Oh yes I am sure you do!
