There’s something about the combination of mint, lime, and a little sparkle that feels like summer. Whether you’re lounging on the porch after a yoga class, catching up with friends poolside, or simply enjoying a quiet evening to yourself, this Mint Mojito Mocktail is the perfect companion. It’s crisp, cooling, and just the right balance of tangy and sweet—without any of the alcohol.
As someone who has been sober for over 12 years, mocktails hold a special place in my heart. They can feel like a celebration—of summer, of connection, of life. But I also want to acknowledge that for many of us in recovery, they can bring up complicated feelings. The ritual of holding a “fancy” drink can be both comforting and triggering. And I believe it’s important to honor both truths.
There’s no one right way to do sobriety. For me, enjoying a mocktail like this Mint Mojito is a small joy—a reminder that life can still be flavorful and festive without alcohol. But if you’re navigating recovery and find that mocktails stir up discomfort or old cravings, that’s valid too. Give yourself permission to choose what supports your healing, not just what looks pretty in a glass.
Mint Mojito Mocktail Recipe
Ingredients:
- 6-10 fresh mint leaves (plus more for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon lime juice (about half a lime)
- 1 teaspoon honeysuckle syrup or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon ginger paste
- Crushed ice
- One can of sparkling seltzer water (lemon-lime flavored works great!)
Instructions:
- In a sturdy glass, muddle the mint leaves with lime juice, ginger paste, and honeysuckle syrup until the mint is fragrant and slightly bruised. For this process, I used what I had on hand, a mason jar, and the wand from my Vitamix blender.
- Add a bit of the seltzer water and stir.
- Fill another glass with crushed ice and pour the liquid (without the mint leaves) into it.
- Pour the remaining sparkling seltzer water over the ice and stir gently to combine.
- Garnish with a sprig of mint.
- Sip, smile, and enjoy.
