Mojito Mocktails

It’s only taken me two months, but I’ve found the perfect non-alcoholic bar beverage — a Mojito Mocktail— God knows I can’t keep ordering sparkling water everywhere I go.

I discovered this gem at Harrods at their Lebanese restaurant. A little bit fruity, with lots of a fresh mint, the squirt of lime makes me pucker almost making me think it’s rum. I’m a bit concerned about all the sugar added as I’m trying not to gain any weight my first trimester, but I suppose it’s a small price to pay for an ALMOST actual cocktail.

I’ve been searching Sainsbury’s high and low for something I can make at home, so here’s my recipe:

Fill a tumbler with ice.
Half a glass of Sainsbury’s taste the difference Sicilian Lemonade
Handful of mint
Half a lime cut up into segments
Top off with sparkling water
(Don’t think about sugar)

I’m going home to California in a week. To celebrate the end of my first trimester, I’m having a small glass of wine. I can’t wait!
