Summer sips: peppermint no-jito

summer sips:  peppermint no-jito

There's nothing more refreshing than a cold drink on a hot summer's day, but add fresh peppermint, juicy lime, and a lot of ice, and you're ready for whatever an August day throws your way.

This peppermint no-jito is a mocktail of sorts, a non-alcoholic beverage you can enjoy with the entire family, a treat at the end of a #TGIF kind of Friday. Enjoy it alone on the patio or at the park with friends. They'll want the recipe, we're sure!
