Get your shopping list ready as we show you how to make the perfect non-alcoholic Mojito!

Fresh Mint

Super easy to grow in the garden, but watch out as it spreads like wildfire. Unless you are Mojito obsessed, it might be best to plant in a pot to keep it contained. Grow with seeds or as a small plant straight into the soil and pick off the leaves when needed. 

Fresh Limes

Give them a roll with your hand on a hard surface to get the most juice out of them. 

Soda Water

Choose whatever your favourite soda water brand is and chill in the fridge.
