There is nothing better than a nice crisp cocktail on a hot Summer night... that is unless you're pregnant in the Summer and the bartender (ie: your husband) insists that rum is not good for the baby *sigh*
What's a girl to do when all she wants is to partake in the evening festivities but her drab old water bottle just REALLY isn't going to cut it??
Enter: the FAUX-JITO!
I won't insult your taste and tell you this is as delightful as a good ol' fashioned Mojito... but, whether you're abstaining from alcohol because you're growing a human, you've got a big race in the morning, or you just don't feel like imbibing... this little drink will create more enjoyment than the lukewarm tap water that is your best alternative ;)
Here's how we make it:
1 serving
-muddle a small handful of fresh mint leaves with 1 tsp raw honey
-juice one lime
-1 can of lime La Croix (or other flavored water brand of your choice)
-add ice and pretend like there's a nice smooth and rummy after taste ;)
