Virgin Mojito with Sweet & Spicy Rim

Mojitos don’t need alcohol to be party-worthy.
This version keeps things crisp with muddled mint, lime, and soda—but what makes it shine is the rim. A light coating of Shawhan Farms Buck’s Best Sweet & Spicy BBQ Seasoning delivers a subtle zing that plays beautifully with citrus and herbs.

Perfect for mocktail bars, baby showers, or outdoor dinners when you want something fun and grown-up without a buzz.

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp Shawhan Farms Buck’s Best Sweet & Spicy BBQ Seasoning (for rim)
• 1 lime wedge (for rimming)
• 6 fresh mint leaves
• Juice of 1 lime (about 1 oz)
• 1 tsp honey or agave (optional)
• Ice
• 6 oz club soda or sparkling water
• Extra mint and lime wheels for garnish

Instructions

1. Rim the glass: Rub a lime wedge around the rim of a tall glass. Dip into a shallow plate of seasoning until coated. Set aside.
2. Muddle: In a small bowl or cocktail shaker, muddle mint with lime juice and honey/agave if using.
3. Build the drink: Fill rimmed glass with ice. Pour muddled mixture over. Top with soda and stir gently.
4. Garnish and serve: Add mint sprig and lime wheel. Serve immediately.
