Mint Julep Mojito

Summer has finally arrived and that means barbecues and patio parties…and maybe the occasional cocktail. For us clean eaters and health conscious folk, sugary cocktails are to be avoided at all cost but this recipe gives you the freedom to choose if you wish to opt for a healthier cocktail as a treat or enjoy the non-alcoholic version with no compromise on taste.
