History

Adapted from a popular drink on the menu of Jamie's Italian restaurant and bar chain circa 2014. I discovered and borrowed the No-jito name from Wagamama restaurants in January 2023.

Review

This Mojito may lack alcohol; indeed, it's alcohol-free -but it's refreshing, balanced, and tasty nonetheless.

Had no ginger beer (not even Fever Tree stuff) at hand, so I had to make do with muddling a small piece of ginger root with the lime and simple, then making a quick PDT ginger beer (just ginger syrup and soda), to top it off. Just ginger ale on the top, with the mint coming towards the end.

Remade it with real ginger beer, and pretty much the same.
