Can I use a different type of nut butter?

Absolutely! Almond butter or cashew butter would also work well in this recipe. Just keep in mind that it will slightly alter the flavor profile.

Can I make this mojito alcoholic?

Of course! Add a shot (about 1.5 ounces) of white rum to the glass before topping with club soda.

What if I don’t have simple syrup?

No problem! You can make your own by dissolving equal parts sugar and water in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved, then let it cool before using. Or, in a pinch, you can use honey or agave nectar.

I'm allergic to peanuts. Can I substitute the peanut butter?

Yes! Sunflower seed butter (sunbutter) is a great alternative. It has a similar creamy texture and a mild, nutty flavor that works well in this recipe.

How can I make it less sweet?

Reduce the amount of simple syrup or omit it entirely. You can also use a sugar-free simple syrup alternative.

Can I prepare this in advance?

You can muddle the mint and lime ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator. However, it’s best to add the peanut butter, club soda, and ice just before serving to maintain the fizz and freshness.

📖 Instructions

Gather your ingredients: You’ll need fresh mint leaves, lime wedges, peanut butter (creamy or chunky, your call!), simple syrup, club soda, and ice.
Muddle the mint and lime: In a sturdy glass, gently muddle about 8-10 mint leaves with 2-3 lime wedges. Muddle, don’t mash! You want to release the minty oils, not pulverize the leaves.
Add peanut butter and simple syrup: Scoop about 1-2 tablespoons of peanut butter into the glass. I prefer creamy, but chunky can add a fun texture. Pour in 1-2 tablespoons of simple syrup, depending on how sweet you like it. If you don’t have simple syrup, you can dissolve sugar in a bit of warm water.
Stir it all together: Use a spoon to thoroughly mix the peanut butter with the mint, lime, and simple syrup. This can take a minute or two to get everything incorporated. Pro tip: Make sure there are no big clumps of peanut butter hanging out.
Fill with ice: Add ice cubes to fill the glass almost to the top.
Top with club soda: Pour club soda over the ice, leaving a little space at the top.
Garnish and serve: Garnish with a fresh mint sprig and a lime wedge. You can also add a drizzle of peanut butter on top for extra flair. Grab a straw and enjoy your unique Peanut Butter Virgin Mojito!
Taste test, and adjust: Give it a sip, and if it's not too your liking, add in more simple syrup or peanut butter!
ENJOY!

📝 Notes

For a sweeter mojito, add more simple syrup. If you prefer a stronger peanut butter flavor, use chunky peanut butter.
Adjust lime as needed. I like a little extra lime.
