Nojito Mocktail
1 serving
A Mojito is a Cuban drink that usually consists of mint leaves, lime juice, sugar, rum, and club soda. A Nojito is a non-alcoholic version that uses lemon-lime soda and stevia.
Ingredients
10 small spearmint leaves
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 cup lemon-lime zero-sugar soda, chilled
1 tablespoon stevia
Crushed ice
Garnish: 1 sprig of spearmint leaves (optional)
Lime wheel (optional)
Directions:
Place the mint leaves, lime juice, and stevia in the bottom of a cold, tall glass that has been refrigerated. Gently muddle to mix the ingredients and bruise the mint leaves so that their oil is released.
Add the lemon-lime soda and crushed ice. Stir. Finish with a sprig of mint for garnish or a lime wheel if you choose.
Serve to anyone not drinking alcoholic drinks like kids, pregnant women, designated drivers or anyone not drinking for any reason. This is a great drink to serve at parties and gatherings or just for yourself.
Note:
Spearmint leaves are available in the produce section of well-stocked grocery stores.
Spearmint leaves are what is sold in grocery stores because other mint leaves give off a strong taste.
