an exquisitely refreshing mocktail made with fresh red globe grapes, mint and lemon

Grape is one of the most popular fruit mostly during the winters and till summer starts. While the regular green grapes are tasty and healthy, what is catching people’s attention these days are the red grapes. They are bigger in size, juicier, and tastier. Red grapes are not just meant for making the world’s finest wine. There are more than 200 varieties of red grapes all over the world. Red varieties include red globe, cardinal, emperor, and flame seedless. There are numerous health benefits of red grapes for skincare and hair care benefits. Red grapes contain Vitamins A, C, B6, potassium, calcium, iron, phosphorus, folate, magnesium, and selenium. Flavonoids are the most powerful antioxidants found in grapes that contribute to ocular health.

Red grapes are used to make red wine, jams, jellies, grape juice, or consumed just raw. Today I have come up with a cold beverage using these as Red Grapes Virgin Mojito.

What is Virgin Mojito?

Well, the mojito is one of the world’s most popular cocktails. It is a simple mixed drink of rum, mint, lime, sugar, and club soda. In addition to these, a muddler and stirring spoon are the only tools required to make this drink. This classic cocktail, a mojito is a favorite summer-time beverage worldwide which is originated in Cuba. The mint and lime give it a cool, refreshing flavor, whereas the soda lightens it up with a fizzy crispness. 

If the above drink is prepared without alcohol, then it becomes a mocktail named Virgin Mojito or even Nojito.

There are many ways that one can switch up the flavor of the basic recipe, which results in a fun drink to share.

Red Grapes Virgin Mojito –

Here the virgin mojito is an exquisitely refreshing drink made with fresh red grapes, mint, and lemon. So this is a nonalcoholic fantastic drink recipe for kids, abstainer or nondrinker.

Well, in this mojito drink I have used fresh red globe grapes. First, in a blender jar, a puree is prepared from red grapes, sugar. Next in a pitcher/jar, few mint leaves along with lime juice are taken, and using a muddler or just a spoon, the leaves are muddled gently to release the aroma of mint. After that few ice cubes are added followed by pouring of the previously prepared grape puree. Everything is mixed well.

Next, it is time for serving. So fill 1/3rd of any serving glass with the above mixture. Then add few more mint leaves, ice cubes, and finally pour soda water / sparkling water slowly into the glass till it almost reaches the brim. Now give a gentle stir and the drink is ready to serve chilled immediately to enjoy!
