Guilt Free Mojito

For the last month or so, (is it really just a month because it feels like the best part of my adult life), I have been on a serious get lean get mean trip in time for the British summer day/week. This translates into, no alcohol, no crisps (oh Lord no crisps!), sweets, cakes, air, life etc etc…

Essentially comprised of soda water, the juice of two fresh limes, fresh mint, and plenty of ice, throw in a fancy cocktail glass and Bob’s your completely sober uncle. You can even add a dash of sweetener if need be (aren’t I generous!). All in all this is a nice refreshing drink, but let’s be clear…alas, there is nothing remotely Cuban about it…
