The Best Non-Alcoholic Raspberry Mojito (5 Minutes, No Muddling)
New to Riviera? Try all our flavours in the Sample Box before you pick your favourite — then come back and make this.
Most non-alcoholic mojito recipes send you out to buy a whole bunch of mint you'll only use once, plus sugar syrup you'll never finish. This one skips all of that. Because Riviera Raspberry & Mint iced tea already has the mint and the fruit built in, you get a proper mojito flavour in five minutes — no muddling, no leftover herbs going slimy in the fridge.
It's naturally refreshing, low in calories and completely alcohol-free, which makes it a genuine alternative when everyone else is on the cocktails.
What you'll need (makes 1)
- 1 can Riviera Raspberry & Mint iced tea (250ml), chilled
- A handful of fresh raspberries (about 6)
- A few fresh mint leaves, plus a sprig to garnish
- ½ a lime, cut into wedges
- Ice — plenty
- Optional: a splash of soda water for a lighter, fizzier finish
Method
- Prep the glass. Add a small handful of raspberries and 2–3 mint leaves to a tall glass. Give them a gentle press with the back of a spoon — just enough to release the juice and the mint oils. You're bruising, not pulverising.
- Add lime and ice. Squeeze in a couple of lime wedges, drop them in, then fill the glass with ice.
- Pour. Top with the chilled can of Raspberry & Mint. Add a splash of soda water here if you like a lighter, spritzier drink.
- Finish. Stir once, add a few whole raspberries and a mint sprig on top, and serve with a straw.
Make it a jug for a crowd
Multiply everything by the number of guests, build it in a large jug with lots of ice, and stir gently just before serving so it doesn't go flat. Four cans, a punnet of raspberries and two limes will comfortably serve six.
Why it works as an alcohol-free option
There's nothing worse than being handed a warm J2O when everyone else has something that actually feels like a drink. This looks the part, tastes like a proper mojito, and won't leave you bloated or hungover. It's the kind of thing you can hand to a designated driver, a pregnant friend, or anyone doing a dry month — and they won't feel like they're missing out.
