“The Elderflower Virgin Mojito emerged from the convergence of the classic Cuban mojito tradition, the introduction of St-Germain elderflower liqueur in 2007, and the rise of the "sober curious" movement in the 2010s. This sophisticated mocktail represents the modern craft cocktail renaissance applied to non-alcoholic beverages, elevating the status of mocktails from simple juice-based drinks to complex, balanced, and thoughtfully crafted alternatives. It has become a flagship beverage of upscale bars and restaurants, demonstrating that zero-proof cocktails can be just as satisfying and complex as their alcoholic counterparts.”
