Ingredients and Health Benefits

The Raspberry Mojito Mocktail is packed with ingredients that offer a range of health benefits. Here’s a breakdown of the ingredients that make this mocktail both delicious and nourishing.

• Frozen Raspberries: The frozen raspberries provide a burst of fruity sweetness and a beautiful pink hue. Rich in antioxidants and vitamin C, raspberries are a healthy addition to any drink, supporting immunity and giving it a refreshing tartness.
  
  
• Mint Leaves: Mint adds a refreshing herbal note, elevating the fruity base. Muddling the mint helps release its oils, enhancing the overall refreshing quality of the mocktail.
  
  
• Lime Juice: The zingy lime juice adds a citrusy kick that cuts through the sweetness of the raspberries, balancing the drink perfectly. It's a great source of vitamin C, helping to keep you refreshed and energised.
  
  
• Lyre’s White Cane Spirit: This non-alcoholic spirit delivers the tropical sweetness of white rum, bringing depth and authenticity to the mocktail. Its smooth, sugary notes complement the raspberry and lime, providing a sophisticated twist without the alcohol.
  
  
• Sprite: The fizz from Sprite adds a bubbly finish, keeping the drink light and refreshing. It adds an extra layer of sweetness without being overpowering, making it the perfect mixer for this vibrant mocktail.
  

Step-by-Step Mixing Guide

Step 1: Muddle the Raspberries

In a glass or cocktail shaker, muddle 2 cups of thawed raspberries gently to release their juices. This step brings out the rich, fruity flavour and gives the mocktail its vibrant colour.

Step 2: Add the Mint and Lime

Add 8-10 fresh mint leaves and the juice of 1 lime to the raspberries. Muddle again to release the mint’s aromatic oils and infuse the drink with its refreshing essence.

Step 3: Mix in Lyre’s White Cane Spirit

Pour 45 ml of Lyre’s White Cane Spirit into the muddled mixture, stirring gently to combine. This adds the depth and tropical notes of rum without the alcohol.

Step 4: Add Ice and Sprite

Fill your glass with ice cubes to chill the drink, then top up with 4 cups of Sprite for a fizzy, refreshing finish. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

Garnish your mocktail with a sprig of fresh mint and a slice of lime for an extra pop of colour and a hint of citrus aroma. Serve immediately to enjoy the full, refreshing flavours.
