Okay, picture this: It's a hot summer afternoon. You’re lounging by the pool, craving something cool and invigorating, but you're also in the mood for something…different.

Plus, it's a great way to impress your friends with your adventurous palate. Seriously, imagine their faces when you tell them what's in it! So, ditch the usual boring drinks and prepare yourself for a flavor adventure. You won't regret it, I promise. My great aunt thought it sounded weird but loved the taste. Who woudla thought?

🍽 Ingredients
📖 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.
