A Refreshing “No”-jito
Recently we went to a Cuban restaurant and they are known for these amazing mojitos. However, I was with my kiddies and wasn’t in the mood to imbibe. Instead, I got a no-jito…which is essentially all the ingredients of a mojito with no rum. It was so refreshing that I decided I would attempt to make my own version of this no-jito when I got home. I know there was fresh mint, limes, sugar and seltzer. Since I’m making a larger batch to keep in the fridge, I used cold water instead of seltzer. I’m real funny about flat seltzer :
