What I suggest you try today is a delicious non-alcoholic mojito lemonade. Rum aside, of course, all the ingredients that characterize this famous summer cocktail are present. There’s lime, brown sugar, mint, and in addition, we find lemon juice and water. The result is a refreshing drink with a very pleasant taste that is perfect for accompanying an aperitif. I actually served it on this occasion to some friends who came over for a barbecue at my house and, I must say, it was appreciated by everyone, including children. So, let yourself be tempted and try it since it’s also very simple to prepare. I’m sure you’ll make it often.
On the blog, you can find other very pleasant lemonades. Try them all!

- 2 lemons
Tools
- 1 Small Pot
- 1 Bowl

Preparation of Mojito Lemonade
Put the brown sugar in a small pot along with 1 cup of still water and dissolve it over low heat, then pour the obtained syrup into a small bowl and let it cool to lukewarm.
In the meantime, wash the mint leaves.
When the syrup is lukewarm, add the leaves and crush them with a pestle to release the maximum aroma.
Cover with plastic wrap and transfer to the refrigerator for a few hours (even overnight if you wish).
After the resting time, strain it through a fine mesh strainer and pour it into a pitcher.
Juice the three limes and the two lemons and pour the juice into the pitcher.
Finally, add the remaining 6 1/3 cups of still water.
Mix well and transfer to the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Decorate the glasses with a slice of lime and some fresh mint leaves. Enjoy! Paola
