This months drink is slightly different than the rest, because it's not so much a cocktail but rather a mocktail!
While of course, the name does generally mean booze will be involved - it’s not fair to assume that all guests will partake. Creating a beverage option special for those guests (who would usually be relegated to water or soda) will make them feel more apart of the festivities.
So without further ado, let us introduce you to the Cherry 'No-jito' 🍒
Ingredients:
5 pcs. frozen cherries, thawed & roughly chopped
1oz Cherry juice
1/4 Lime + slice for garnish
6-8 pcs. Mint leaves + sprig for garnish
1 cup Sparkling water
1/2 oz Honey simple syrup
How-To:
1. Chop the cherries and lime into a glass and honey simple syrup. Muddle.
2. Pro tip: Clap with the mint on your palms to extract the scent from the leaves. Add it to the glass and muddle in gently.
3. Add crushed ice, cherry juice, and finish off with the sparkling water.
4. Garnish as desired and serve.
With just the right amount of sweetness to balance out the tart, the Cherry Nojito is the perfect mocktail for your next occasion!
