Apple mockjito recipe
Who doesn’t love a mojito? It has been popular in Cuba for centuries and became really fashionable in the world’s best bars from LA to London to Sydney since the ’90s. In this sugar-free, alcohol-free version, we’ve not only managed to keep the balance of flavours as exciting as the original, but it’s supremely thirst-quenching.
