Virgin Mojito

Few drinks feel as instantly cooling as a Virgin Mojito. It is crisp, lively and made for hot days when you want something clean and refreshing without alcohol. The fresh mint wakes up the senses, while lime keeps the flavor sharp and bright. This is a crowd-pleaser that works for everyone, from family lunches to summer parties. Light, fizzy and not overly sweet, it delivers that classic mojito vibe with all the freshness and none of the hangover.

Virgin Mojito
