Sippin' Time: Strawberry "Faux-jito"

Hey guys! Today I bring you a recent love of mine: the strawberry faux-jito! Now, I'm not a frequent drinker, but, when I do go out it's a requirement that the drink be fruity! That being said, a month or so ago, I went out with my sister, mom, friend, and her mom, to a great restaurant and they had strawberry basil mojitos! It was one of the best things I've ever had and left me craving more. Alas, one can't be drinking alcohol every day, right?! So, I decided to create a drink that captured the refreshing taste in a non-alcoholic way. Enjoy, and let me know if you give it a try!

Strawberry "Faux-jito"

INGREDIENTS:
Strawberries
Limes
Sugar (I use Truvia)
Seltzer Water
Water
Ice
Mint Leaves


DIRECTIONS:
For single serving: In the bottom of a glass, muddle 4-6 mint leaves, 2 spoonfuls of sugar, and 3 medium sized strawberries. Once muddled, squeeze in some fresh lime juice (I usually use 1/4 of the lime), add some ice. Finish off by filling the rest of the glass with some seltzer water and you're ready to enjoy your fresh fauxjito!

P.S. I just recently saw on Pinterest that Elle and Blair Fowler (from Youtube) also made a fake strawberry mojito recipe that can be found here!

YUMMM :)
