Mostly the variations are formed by using different fruit juices to prepare the Mojito like Pineapple Mojito, Apple Mojito, Grape Mojito, Mango Mojito, Strawberry Mojito and many more.

Even among each of the versions, there are different processes and proportions in each of them. These create differences in the same drink too.

When I have prepared this drink for the first time, I was full of doubt because according to me it is inimitable to get the same restaurant style taste, flavour and presentation. But after preparing it, when I have served this drink to my family, they gave jaw dropping expressions and complemented my work. From that day onwards, I have become a Mocktail expert among my family, friends and relatives.

Before jumping into the recipe, I like to share few interesting facts about Red Grape Mojito.

Red Grape Mojito – Reason behind its popularity

Its super charming colour and attractive look.

Though Red Grape Mojito is a non-alcoholic drink still it’s equally famous among hard drinkers too.

The reason behind its popularity is its charming flavour which attracts everyone towards the second glass of it. The merge of Red Grapes with muddled Mint leaves and Lemon cubes is like icing on the cake.

Red Grape Mojito is like oxygen for party lovers during weekdays. It helps them to take a break of tiring work life without any hangover.

It’s a super delicious energy drink to nail the Sun during summers. A glass of chilled Red Grape Mojito in a scenic beach at the presence of golden sun light and hot sand. I wish time could stop to enjoy the wonderful experience again and again.

How to make fresh Red Grape juice at home?

First, I have washed the grapes and transferred them into a saucepan.

For 1 cup of Red grapes, I have added 1 ½ cups of water.

Put the saucepan on flame and let the grapes boil.

Once the grapes start boiling, mash them with the help of a turner or masher.

Put the flame in low and let the grapes boil for 10 minutes in low flame until the colour of the water turns red.

Add 2-3 tablespoons of sugar and give a nice stir. You can vary the quantity of sugar accordingly.

Switch off the flame and put the saucepan down.

Strain the juice with the help of a strainer and squeeze out the juice from the boiled grapes.

Refrigerate the juice to become cool.

Note: The quantity of Red Grape juice is enough to prepare a couple of 250 ml glasses of Red Grape Mojito.

Red Grape juice benefits

Red grape juice is full of nutrients and a great source of Vitamin C and Vitamin K.

It is a good source of antioxidants which helps to get rid of many chronic diseases.

Regular consumption of grapes helps to get rid of heart problems.

It helps to maintain the blood pressure level of the body.

How to make mojito without alcohol?

To be more precise, I have mentioned the quantity of fluids in millilitre in this recipe. But still, I have also mentioned the percentage of fluid quantity for better understanding. In ordinary houses, when common people like us attempt to prepare any mocktail drink, they don’t have fancy equipment. So, I tried to make the measurement a bit simpler.

Most importantly, every glass has different size. It is a common problem to not have standard sized mocktail glasses available in all houses. To overcome from this problem, I have mentioned the fluid quantity in percentage of the glass quantity.

There is no formula to prepare a perfect mojito mocktail. There are many variations in the process. Mostly believe in your instincts. Nothing can be a better taster than your eyes, nose and of course tongue.

How to make Red Grape Mojito?

In this preparation, first I have prepared fresh Red Grape Juice at home. But to avoid all these hassles, you can also use readymade Red Grape Juice too.

I have used Lemon chunks for the drink. But you can also use Lime instead of Lemon. It hardly makes any difference.

Then I have added the soothing herb, Mint leaves, into the glasses which gives a refreshing flavour to the drink. To enhance the fruity flavour of the drink, I have also added some Red Grapes into the glass.

I have used a rolling pin, through its edges, to muddle all these ingredients into the glasses. This is one of the most vital steps for a Mojito drink recipe. Many people think these elements are added just for a good look but that’s not right. They are used to obtain the perfect flavour of the drink. The muddled herbs, lemons and fruit chunks release their best essence which you would not get in any other way. The essence mixed up with the fluid attracts people at the very first sip of the drink.

I have added Sugar in the Red Grape juice. So, I have not added any sugar syrup in the mojito. But if are using readymade Red Grape juice, then sugar might have already been added. If not, then you can add powdered sugar or can also prefer to use Sugar syrup.

I have added few ice cubes in each of the glasses, but you can use crushed ice too for the drink. Ice is an important element for the drink. It helps to maintain the correct temperature of the drink till the last sip.

After adding ice, I have filled around 70% of the glass with Red Grape juice. The rest of the glass has been filled with chilled club Soda. Give a gentle stir before drinking the Red Grape Mojito Mocktail.
