// Cocktail Hour: La Croix Mojito


Hello Summer! If there's one thing I love about this season, it's sitting pool side with a crisp, cold cocktail in hand. Since my cocktail drinkin' is currently on hiatus, I've been trying to whip up some equally delicious mocktails to get the job done. Mike likes to call this one my "faux-jito" haha! Obviously you could easily bump this up a notch for any adult by adding some rum (Mike does!), but this is the version Toby and I like to enjoy together. (And I love that I get to garnish the drink with bits from our garden!)


INGREDIENTS:

La Croix Lemon-Lime sparking water
1 tbsp sugar
Lime - wedged or sliced
2 sprigs of fresh mint
Optional: your favorite white rum!

INSTRUCTIONS:

Muddle some fresh mint in the bottom of your glass and cover with ice. Add your La Croix sparkling water and 1 tablespoon of sugar. (You can opt to mix your ice, water and sugar in a cocktail shaker if you want to ensure it gets nice and mixed up!). Slice a lime to suit and garnish your drink with a spring of mint and a few pieces of lime. Then enjoy!

Toby loves this drink because it makes him feel "fancy like an adult" he says! It's both refreshing and delicious without being packed full of sugar or artificial colors.

  1. That looks so good! I am in love with the coconut La Croix. I might have to try a pina colada version of this!

  2. This sounds and looks delicious! It's so hot in the UK at the moment that coming home from work to something like this would be a treat. Now to find out if La Croix is sold here!

  3. This sounds delicious. I became a little obsessed with non-alcoholic mojitos when I was pregnant. I took to calling them 'no'jitos! x
