In my early twenties I was a cocktail waitress and worked my way up to bartender, and I still LOVE to make drinks that…
Look pretty
Taste yummy
Are easy to concoct
This Strawberry No-Jito fits the bill on all of these things. Plus, if you are staying away from alcohol and still want to imbibe in a beautiful cocktail, then this is it!
The ‘no’ in No-Jito equals no alcohol.

Fresh mint leaves, fresh squeezed lime juice, fresh strawberries .
Muddler is pictured, but if you don’t have one, you can use a fork instead!
Moozie-approved mint.
Muddling in a shaker cup, but you can muddle in any cup or bowl.
Pouring into my fancy glass.
Pinkies Up!
Things I learned…
I always learn a few things as I prepare recipes. Here’s a list of stuff I learned.
Never shake club soda….
Add any fruits you want. If you add blueberries, you could create a red, white and blue drink for Independence Day!
A fork works just as good as a muddler
Using different sized ice cubes, makes you look like you are a fancy chef. I bought an old fashioned ice cube tray at the dollar store that makes BIG ice cubes. VERY shwanky…
It’s time to use your fancy glasses. Stop saving them for something fancy- THIS is fancy!
Remember the garnish, or a fun stir stick!
When you make this let me know how it went, in a comment below.
YOU ARE LOVED, NICOLE XO
