Virgin Pomegranate Mojito
A cool and refreshing summer drink

A mojito, traditionally, consists of five ingredients: sugar, rum, lime juice, soda water and mint. Here is my version of a mojito that is alcohol-free. It is deliciously refreshing, a perfect summer drink.

Helpful Tips:
I omitted the sugar completely. You can adjust the sweetness.
You could coat the rims of the serving glasses with some cayenne pepper or salt. I prefer Himalayan pink salt.
