If you're wanting to change things up a bit for your summer drinking perhaps a zingy, fresh 'mocktail' is what you need?
I've seen heaps of recipes around for tasty non-alcoholic drinks but besides a lemonade or plain ginger beer I've never really had a go at making a mocktail.
Time to change it up. I've got heaps of mint growing in our garden so a Faux-Jito came to mind - lots of mint and ginger-beer, but it felt like too obvious of a combo to try so instead my man and I mixed up and swilled on 'Strawberry Coconut Coolers' and 'Going Troppo' mocktails.
