Faux Jitoh Fizzy Drink
Jul 11, 2018
Post today is short and sweet and totally guilt free. I love bubbly, fizzy drinks, especially in the summertime. This is my version of a faux-jito - a minty, sweet and sour bubbly version of a traditional mojito, which would also traditionally include rum. Honestly, I'm fine if my clients include alcoholic drinks in their diet (in moderation), but I personally don't care for it. I don’t tolerate alcohol very well anymore, so I skip the alcohol and still enjoy the refreshing taste of a mojito. I figure I could use the extra calories elsewhere in my diet and I just don't feel the need for it. No judgement on those who have alcohol, but I prefer my fizzy drinks alcohol free.
This is super simple to make. All you need are limes, fresh mint, carbonated water and the optional coconut sugar for added sweetness. Sometimes I make this without coconut sugar when I don't want the sweetness, but just crave the refreshing minty and sour flavours. Other times I want to taste the sweetness and I include the coconut sugar.
Start by washing the mint (approx 2 springs of fresh mint), and lime. Squeeze the juice of one lime into an 8 oz glass and add the coconut sugar (if using), stir it until the sugar dissolves, then add in the mint leaves and lightly bruise them with a spoon or other appropriate utensil to allow the flavour to be released. Then top with some crushed ice and soda water. Enjoy!
Ces't toute. Totally simple and extremely refreshing! Hope this is something you get to enjoy this summer!
