Berry Mojito Mocktails
You are going to love these Berry Mojito Mocktails made with Signature SELECT™ Soleil™ Sparkling Water! They are such a pretty drink and perfect for summer! The blackberries and raspberries make this “red, white, and blue” drink a HIT for the 4th of July and because they have no alcohol, kids can enjoy them too!
What Is A Mojito?
A Mojito is a Cuban cocktail that traditionally consists of five ingredients: white rum, sugar, lime juice, soda water, and mint. I have never had an actual mojito (we here at FFR don’t drink), so I can’t make an accurate comparison to the original, but I can say even without the rum the combination of sweetness, citrus, and mint flavors makes this a delicious summertime drink.
What is A Mocktail?
A “mocktail” is another name for a non-alcoholic drink. Signature Select Soleil sparkling water is a great substitution for drinks such as a mojito because it has good “fizz” and a light flavor. We used the lime flavor for our mojito mocktails but you can use any of their tasty flavors, including their new flavors, including Peach, Pure, Apple, Pineapple, Caffeine Lime, Caffeine Blood Orange and Caffeine Grapefruit.

What’s In A Mojito Mocktail?
-
- Signature SELECT Soleil Sparkling Water – We used the lime flavor but you can use any flavor that you think would be a good fit
- Mint leaves – Mint gives this mojito a delicious fresh flavor. I was so excited to be able to use the fresh mint from my garden for this recipe!
- Lime – A mojito isn’t a mojito (even a virgin mojito) without lime. It gives the drink a nice little “zing”
- Sugar or sweetener – Typically mojitos have a little added sweetener added to them, whether it be honey, sugar, or any natural sugar-free sweetener. You don’t HAVE to have sweetener but it makes it more of a true mojito.
- Berries (optional) – We took the liberty of adding berries to out mojitos but they aren’t a “standard” mojito ingredient.
