Virgin Grilled Pineapple Mojito

A party is a gathering of people who have been invited by a host for the purposes of socializing, conversation or as part of a festival or any special occasion. A party typically features food and beverages, and often entertainment. This time the theme of Healthy Wellthy Group is “Party Theme”. So I have prepared a beverage for the contribution. Instead of depending on fizzy drinks available in the market, it is better to have something homemade for parties. And, yes the homemade virgin grilled pineapple mojito proves that.

Virgin grilled pineapple mojito – A fun and easy twist to the traditional refreshing virgin mojito which gives a whole new level of fruity and smoky flavors.

Traditionally, a mojito is a cocktail that consists of white rum, sugar, lime juice, soda water and mint leaves. But here, this mojito is purely non-alcoholic. Freshly picked mint leaves are muddled with some grilled pineapple chunks. Grilling the pineapple before preparing the drinks really brings out its sweetness and flavor up to fullest. Do not char the pineapples, but just achieve the golden brown delicious coloring on pineapple slices.

This is a so easy to make mock-tail as just grill the pineapple slices, muddle everything and relish. If you’re looking for a fancy mock-tail for your next upcoming party, then I can assure that the virgin grilled pineapple mojito is the ideal match. Made with a simple combination of ingredients, it tastes absolutely divine. So lets go in details as mentioned below.
