More information...

The Marine Mojito is a refreshing and innovative take on the classic mojito, designed for those who wish to enjoy a delightful beverage without the effects of alcohol. This non-alcoholic cocktail is crafted with a careful selection of ingredients that not only provide a burst of flavor but also evoke the essence of the sea, making it a perfect choice for warm summer days or any occasion where a light, invigorating drink is desired.

At the heart of the Marine Mojito is the Everleaf Marine Non-Alcoholic Aperitif, a unique spirit that captures the flavors of the ocean. This aperitif is infused with a variety of botanicals, including seaweed and other marine elements, which lend a distinct briny and herbal character to the drink. The use of this non-alcoholic base allows the cocktail to maintain a complex flavor profile while ensuring that it remains completely alcohol-free, making it suitable for all ages and preferences.

The preparation of the Marine Mojito begins with the muddling of fresh mint leaves, which is a crucial step in releasing the aromatic oils that give the drink its refreshing quality. The mint is combined with freshly squeezed lime juice and a rich sugar syrup, which balances the tartness of the lime with a touch of sweetness. This combination of ingredients creates a vibrant base that is both zesty and fragrant, setting the stage for the rest of the cocktail.

Once the mint, lime, and sugar are muddled together, the Everleaf Marine is added, followed by a gentle stir to combine the flavors. The drink is then filled with ice, which not only chills the cocktail but also dilutes it slightly, enhancing the overall drinking experience. Finally, the Marine Mojito is topped with Thomas Henry Soda Water, adding a refreshing effervescence that lifts the drink and makes it even more enjoyable. A sprig of mint is used as a garnish, providing a visual appeal and an additional aromatic element that invites you to take a sip.

In terms of taste, the Marine Mojito strikes a balance between sweet and sour, rated at a 7 out of 10 on the scale. The sweetness from the sugar syrup complements the tartness of the lime, while the herbal notes from the mint and the unique flavor of the Everleaf Marine create a harmonious blend that is both refreshing and satisfying. With only 85 calories per serving and 0% alcohol by volume, this cocktail is a guilt-free indulgence that allows you to enjoy the flavors of a classic mojito without the effects of alcohol.

The Marine Mojito is not just a drink; it’s an experience that transports you to a seaside paradise with every sip. Whether you’re lounging by the pool, enjoying a picnic at the beach, or simply relaxing at home, this cocktail is a perfect companion. Its vibrant colors and refreshing taste make it a delightful choice for gatherings, parties, or even a quiet evening in. The Marine Mojito exemplifies how non-alcoholic beverages can be just as exciting and flavorful as their alcoholic counterparts, catering to a growing audience that seeks sophisticated and enjoyable drink options without the alcohol.

Many agree that the first cocktail ever invented was the Sazerac in the mid-1800s in New Orleans. The Sazerac, a blend of whiskey, absinthe, bitters, and sugar, made it a unique and recognizable cocktail.

How did the name 'cocktails' come to be?

The etymology is believed to have come from a New Orleans apothecary, and inventor, Antoine Amédée Peychaud, who served brandy with his bitters in eggcups in the late 18th century.

The french word for eggcup is coquetier.

The story goes, that it was difficult to pronounce coquetier, was likely mis-pronounced, and quickly the word cocktail caught on as a new word.
