Refreshing Nojito or Virgin Mojito (Non Alcoholic)
The popularity of the Mojito began with Ernest Hemingway during his time in Cuba and it is firstly made there in Cuba. It is said that the original Mojito was a medicinal drink to curb disease on the island of Cuba.  Mojo is an African word for magic, which we all know can happen once you have had a few Mojitos, although this time I offer you some healthy magic with the non-alcoholic Mojito (Nojito) :) No matter what the history is, this drink is making current day history all over the world. It was the most popular global cocktail in 2013 and just continues to rise in popularity. Take a look!
