Virgin Mojito - Mocktail with Lemon and Mint

I know it’s winters right now, but it’s the festive season with Valentine’s Day just around the corner. So even though it’s cold outside, you might wanna have a few options for mocktails for the parties and get togethers at home. Now, for the hard drinks, you can have ample options. (And with scotch and wine on the table no one usually cares about cocktails!) But for our mocktail lovers, here’s a very interesting option – The Virgin Mojito. I was so thrilled when they launched it at KFC in India. It’s super refreshing in summers and even during winters one can enjoy it after a long shopping day or just when you feel like this minty taste. Very easy and simple to make, you’ll have a glass made in 5 mins flat!
