Make the syrup: Combine water, sugar and sliced ginger in a saucepan and heat until dissolved.
Chill and strain: Let syrup cool completely, then strain out the ginger.
Build the drink: In a pitcher, combine lime, ice, mint and some syrup.
Add juices: Pour in pineapple juice and club soda.
Serve immediately: Stir gently and pour into serving glasses.

Substitutions and Variations

Use sparkling water: If you don’t have club soda, plain sparkling water works fine.
Swap the fruit: Try mango, strawberries or passionfruit instead of pineapple for a twist.
Add a splash of juice: A little orange or cranberry juice changes the flavor profile.
Make it spicy: Add a slice of jalapeño to the syrup for a heat kick.
Try lemon: Use lemon in place of lime for a slightly different citrus base.
Asian inspired version: Swap the mint leaves for Japanese shiso leaves and the soda water for Sprite for an Asian take (and throw in a little sake if you want!) Shiso leaves are in the mint family and are often used in savory dishes in Japan.

Serving Suggestions

With appetizers: Pair your mojito mocktails with bacon cheeseburger sliders, seafood pasta salad or chips and a slow cooker taco dip.
With something sweet: Caramel apple pretzel bites or carrot cake cookies would be a fun treat to pair with the drinks.

How to Store Pineapple Ginger Mojito Mocktails

Store: This drink will keep for up to 2 days in a covered container in the refrigerator. If you’re making it ahead, keep the mint separate. I like to wrap the fresh mint in a damp paper towel and then put it in a Ziploc bag in the fridge. As for the syrup, you can make that ahead, as it keeps for up to a week if refrigerated.
Freeze: I don’t recommend freezing mojito mocktails, as the soda will go flat.
