Faux-jito
A virtuous version of the classic, a Faux-jito is a happy combination of lime and fresh mint. Break this out when the mercury rises.
Makes 1 drink
3 lime wedges, plus 1 for garnish
5 fresh mint leaves
4 oz. lemon-lime soda
Squeeze each of the 3 lime wedges into a cocktail shaker to release the juice, then drop the spent lime wedges into the shaker. Add the mint and muddle with the lime wedges. Add ice and shake to mix, then pour into a pilsner glass. Top up with the lemon-lime soda. Garnish with the remaining lime wedge.
