Virgin Cider Mojito


Hello mates,
Today, I am posting the recipe of a drink. This is very quick to assemble if you have all the ingredients at home, and it tastes great. For non-alcoholics, it is a great refreshing drink as it is loaded with mint leaves and lemon. Well, I am talking about Virgin Mojito. We can fuse various fruit flavours with the drink. I made this one with apple juice fused in it. It tasted delicious. The following recipe would make 2 glasses.





Ingredients:

2 lemons (each cut into 8 pieces)
2 tbsp lemon juice
Mint leaves (about 30 pcs)
2 tsp brown sugar
Ice cubes 
Lemon based aerated drink (I used Limca)
2 cups apple juice


Garnishing: 

Lemon slices, Apple slices (1 cm thick - like a french fry)

Method:
  1. Take a glass. Put 4 lemon pieces in the glass. Also add 1 tbsp lemon juice.
  2. Put 10-12 mint leaves in the glass.
  3. Add brown sugar to the glass. Muddle a bit. You can crush it with the back of a spoon, so that it is lightly muddled, and the essence of lemon and mint is mixed with sugar.
  4. Add ice cubes.
  5. Fill 3/4th of glass with lemon based aerated drink.
  6. Fill the remaining glass with apple juice.
  7. Garnish the rim with lemon slice and put 2 apple slices in the drink)
  8. Ready to serve.
Tips:

You can experiment with different fruits like pomegranate, peach. You can just replace apple drink with any other fruit drink of your choice. Add same fruits for garnishing.
