Quick answer
The Kokam Mojito Mocktail is 30 ml Swa Kokam Cumin syrup, 20 ml lemon juice, 6-7 muddled mint leaves and 150 ml soda, with an optional pinch of black salt. It builds in the glass in about two minutes and suits summer menus and dinner parties.
Why does this recipe work?
Kokam is a deep red, sour fruit from the Western Ghats often used in place of tamarind. With cumin in the syrup, the drink tastes closer to a sharbat than to a sweet mojito, and black salt reinforces that.
Where does it fit on a restaurant menu?
It pairs well with Indian meals because the sour, savoury profile is similar to traditional digestive drinks. It also works as a strong non-alcoholic option on a restaurant menu. See the full flavour range.

Is black salt necessary?
No, it is optional. It adds a savoury, slightly sulphurous note that matches the cumin in the syrup.
Which Swa syrup is used?
Swa Kokam Cumin syrup. It is 100% natural with no preservatives or artificial colours.
Can I serve it with alcohol?
Yes. A white rum or vodka works if you want a boozy version, though the original recipe is a mocktail.
Swa Artisanal Syrups is made in Bangalore by a team of women who believe Indian flavours deserve a place behind every bar and coffee counter. From Kokam off the Konkan coast to Nannari from Tamil Nadu, every syrup is preservative-free, naturally made, and built for the craft professional. Swa works with cafes, bars, restaurants, and hotels across India.
