Scale
Juices and Syrup
- 1 cup fresh blood orange juice (about 3–4 blood oranges)
- 1/2 cup cranberry juice (unsweetened or lightly sweetened)
- 2 tablespoons simple syrup (adjust to taste)
Fresh Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves (plus extra for garnish)
Additional
- Club soda (to top off)

Instructions
- Prepare the Mojito Base: In a large pitcher, add the fresh mint leaves and grated ginger. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint and ginger together to release their flavors. Then, pour in the fresh blood orange juice, cranberry juice, and simple syrup. Stir well to combine all the ingredients thoroughly.
- Add Fizz: Stir the juice mixture again to ensure everything is mixed evenly.
- Serve: Fill serving glasses with ice cubes. Pour the juice mixture over the ice, filling each glass about three-quarters full. Top each glass with club soda to add a refreshing fizzy finish. Stir gently to combine the soda with the juices.
- Garnish and Enjoy: Garnish each glass with additional fresh mint leaves and a slice of blood orange. Serve immediately and enjoy the vibrant, refreshing flavors of this mocktail.
Notes
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of simple syrup according to your preference.
- For a spicier ginger kick, increase the amount of fresh grated ginger.
- Use fresh juices for the best flavor, but bottled juices can be used in a pinch.
- This recipe can be easily doubled or tripled for larger gatherings.
- To make it alcoholic, add white rum before topping with club soda.
