Nojito – mocktail

A classic mocktail if there ever was one. The lime and mint are still there even if the booze is not, and those are the classic flavors you are probably looking for in this mocktail anyway.

Build it in the glass and go easy on the sugar for starters. And always use fresh mint. No shortcuts with this one.

Cheers!

6 fresh mint sprigs (plus 1 for garnish)

Soda Water

Dash of simple syrup

Muddle the mint, sugar and lime in a highball filled with ice
