Carnival Cruise Ting Mojito Recipe

If you want a refreshing cocktail from the Red Frog Pub on Carnival Cruise Ships, look no further than this Ting Mojito Recipe. This delicious cocktail tastes terrific and reminds me of relaxing in the Red Frog Pub.

Carnival’s Ting Mojito

We have been sharing a ton of Alchemy Bar Recipes lately, so I decided to change it up and share a recipe from the Red Frog Pub. We are big fans of the Red Frog Pub and plan at least one evening relaxing and listening to great live music in the pub while on a cruise.

On our Carnival Miracle Alaska Cruise this past summer, we enjoyed the tropical vibe of the pub while cruising past glaciers and the epic Alaska scenery.

I must admit that I have spent a few hours working in the Red Frog Pub on previous cruises. The pub has comfy chairs, and the atmosphere is bright and cheerful, making it a great place to pull out my laptop and get some work done.

Our last cruise was so much fun, and I am already trying to plot what Carnival Ship we should sail on next. I want to sail on the new Carnival Mardi Gras and sample this epic ship's new bars and restaurants.

Before our next cruise, I will sign up for the Cheers Package to continue trying all the new cocktails and drinks.

Do you have a favorite place to hang out on Carnival Cruises?

We have our favorite places, but we also find that each ship has unique features. There are so many unique features on the Carnival Miracle, and it took me all week to explore and see them all.

Writing about cruising has me dreaming of booking another cruise and cruise ship naps. Until that happens, we will keep making our favorite cocktails at home and dreaming of sunshine and cruise vacations.

How to Make a Ting Mojito

I've included complete instructions in the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post, but here's a quick version.

Muddle two Lime Wedges and 5-7 Mint Leaves.

Add ice cubes to a Hurricane Glass, and pour in Absolut Ruby Red Vodka, Grapefruit Juice, Fresh Lime Juice, and Simple Syrup. Stir together.

Top with Ting Soda.

 

Preparation and Storage

Make Ahead + Storage:

This fruity cocktail tastes best fresh since it contains fresh fruit juices. However, if you make it beforehand, combine all ingredients except the Ting Soda into an airtight container and enjoy it within three days.

Freezing/How to Freeze:

Blend the cocktail ingredients with a handful of ice to make Ting Mojito Slushies.

 

Recipe Variations

Substitutions:

If you can't find Absolut Ruby Red Vodka, substitute it with a grapefruit-flavored vodka.

Vegetarian Option:

This summery twist on a mojito is vegetarian-friendly!

Vegan Option:

Ting Soda may not be vegan, so if you are vegan or are serving vegan friends, replace it with a vegan-labeled alternative.

Gluten-Free:

Ting Soda may not be gluten-free, so if you are highly sensitive and want to avoid cross-contamination, look for a grapefruit soda with a gluten-free label.

Alcohol-Free Option:

To make alcohol-free Ting Mojitos, replace the Absolut Ruby Red Vodka with an NA alternative. We recommend sticking to a grapefruit-flavored alternative to create the same flavor.

Make It Spicy:

We have seen spicy twists on the Ting Mojito that add muddled or sliced jalapeños for heat.

Larger Group/More Servings:

You can easily double, triple, or multiply this recipe if you want to make it by the pitcher for a party or summer afternoon. Leave out the Ting Soda until serving so everyone gets a carbonated beverage.

Sugar-Free:

The written recipe contains 20 grams of sugar per serving, but the final nutritional content depends on your ingredients.

The sugar in this Carnival Cruise Ting Mojito comes from fruit juices, simple syrup, and Ting Soda, so replace each ingredient with a sugar-free alternative.

 

Tips for the Best Ting Mojito

• Make sure to muddle the mint and lime wedges before filling the glasses with ice.
