The Nojito was born out of the growing demand for delicious non-alcoholic options at bars and gatherings. Inspired by the world-renowned Cuban Mojito, the Nojito swaps out rum for club soda, allowing everyone—whether abstaining or just taking a break—to enjoy the invigorating combination of muddled mint and lime. Its name is a playful nod to its parent cocktail, with 'No' signaling the absence of alcohol. Over the past decade, the Nojito has become a staple on mocktail menus worldwide.
A fresh mint sprig and a lime wheel add visual appeal and an aromatic burst with every sip.
