Nojito (non-alcoholic mojito variation) detailed introduction + editor's explanation 🍹🍃🍋

Nojito, or the non-alcoholic mojito, is a lifesaver for those who drink little or no alcohol. It retains the classic sweet and sour taste of the mojito, with its mint and lemon zest, but eliminates the white rum and uses sparkling water or club soda instead. The drink is refreshing and complex, a must-have for summer heat relief and a refreshing drink! It's safe for both adults and children, and you can adjust the sweetness to your liking, making it incredibly healthy and refreshing. 🥰🧊
