Sweet & Refreshing Mojitos  Grab a straw and raise a glass!  A ‘mocktail’ is a nice treat in the warm weather or for party guests who prefer not to drink alcohol, or who are driving. Although this drink has no alcohol, as would a traditional Mojito, be assured you will find it just as refreshing. You can whisk up this ‘mocktail’ of mint, stevia, zesty lime and cooling sparkling water in minutes. I played with the quantities to perfect this virgin mojito, so if you want to raise a glass but don’t want the alcohol, or are abstaining for health reasons, you won’t feel left out with this fabulous drink. What you need

• 1 cup lime juice
• 2 cups sparkling water
• 1 handful mint leaves
• 10 drops stevia
• 2 handfuls crushed ice

What you do

• Blend the lime juice, stevia and sparkling water together. Crush the mint leaves.
• Pour the mix over crushed ice in 2 cocktail glasses. Stir everything together and serve.
