Rosé Nojito with Raspberry
Raspberry, citrus and sparkling water give this alcohol-free cocktail its fresh, fruity character and delicate pink colour. Inspired by the classic mojito, the Rosé Nojito replaces rum with a combination of fruit flavours and gentle carbonation.
Raspberry syrup provides sweetness and colour, while lemon and lime introduce the acidity needed to keep the drink refreshing. A little orange juice adds a softer citrus note and balances the sharper flavours.
Unlike a traditional mojito, this version contains no mint. Its character comes from the contrast between ripe berry flavours and fresh citrus.
A Frozen Variation
For a different presentation, the mixture can also be served as a granita. Freeze the prepared drink in a shallow container and scrape it with a fork every 30 to 45 minutes until light ice crystals form.
Spoon into chilled cocktail glasses and finish with fresh raspberries.
The frozen version works particularly well as a light refreshment after an outdoor lunch or as a non-alcoholic aperitif at a summer gathering.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the classic version in a tall glass with plenty of ice or present the frozen variation in a coupe glass.
For a slightly less sweet result, reduce the raspberry syrup and increase the sparkling water.
Both versions pair well with fresh fruit, small citrus desserts or savoury appetisers such as whipped feta on toasted bread.
