History
The Virgin Mojito is the non-alcoholic version of the famous rum-based Mojito that is often attributed to Francis Drake.
The rum flavor syrup very logically replaces the rum and sugar, the virgin mojitos thus have the same taste as the real mojito, and are just as refreshing, especially in summer.
