Mocktails have become a mainstay in social gatherings. It's a delicious alternative for those wanting a non-alcoholic beverage without compromising on taste or experience. This raspberry mojito mocktail blends the sweetness of raspberries with zest of mint and lime.
This recipe is great for parties, a night in or with some delicious tacos for dry January or Cinco de Mayo. It's the perfect year round drink!
We also love them with some cinnamon twists or with some blue curacao lemonade.

FAQ
Yes, frozen raspberries can be used, but fresh raspberries tend to impart a more vibrant flavor and color to the mocktail.
Lemon juice can be used as a substitute for lime if preferred. It will provide a slightly different citrus profile but still complements the raspberries and mint.
Instead of sugar, try adding a splash of natural sweeteners like agave syrup, honey, or a sugar-free alternative to adjust sweetness to your liking.
Certainly! Scale up the ingredients accordingly and mix the mocktail in a pitcher for serving a larger group.
Experiment by adding other berries like strawberries or blackberries for a different fruity twist. For a more herbal note, try infusing the drink with basil alongside or instead of mint.
