Many of you have requested us soft drinks, so we decided to start with one of the most famous and refreshing drinks: Virgin Mojito :D! This is the non-alcoholic variant of mojito, the popular Cuban cocktail flavoured with fresh mint and lime. In this version, the white rum is replaced by ginger ale, which adds a touch of spicy ginger to the drink.
Take a look to the original version of the Mojito too, you will find some curiosities about the origins of this magic in glass 😉 .
If you try one of the recipes on the blog, take a photo and publish it on Instragam with the hashtag #fratelliaifornelli and tagging our profile @fratelliaifornelli.
