Citrus Virgin Mojito: orange, lemon and mojito mint
↓ Jump to recipeQuick answer
The Citrus Virgin Mojito stirs 60 ml orange juice, 10 ml lemon juice, 20 ml Swa Orange Mint syrup, orange chunks and 12 mint leaves with crushed ice, then tops with 60 ml soda. The mojito's cooling effect comes from mint.
What makes it citrusy?
A traditional mojito uses lime, mint and sweetener. This version uses orange and lemon for a softer, fruitier profile while keeping mint at the centre.
Serving tips
Stir the mint with crushed ice rather than muddling hard so the leaves do not turn bitter. Add soda last to keep the fizz. See our cafe menus and more Swa recipes.
