Matcha-jito: Fresh and Delicious Mojito with Matcha.

A Fresh, delicious and healthful Mocktail that everyone can enjoy.

I love mojitos, the mint, and lime are the perfect combination, and to me, the epitome of a refreshing cocktail. However, being me, I am always thinking of ways to mix it up. This is where the Matcha-jito comes in. The Matcha adds an additional layer of flavor and healthfulness to this traditional cocktail. I am using Matcha Kari which is high quality matcha and adds beautiful grassy and herbal notes to the drink. Additionally, since I am an #sobergirl I am making this amazing drink alcohol free. However, if you stumble upon this recipe and wanted to make this into an acholic version. You can substitute the rum 1:1 for the NA rum. This drink is fabulous. This is an a perfect drink for any time of year!

An additional benefit to this drink is all of the additional energy, antioxidants and a potential increase in fat burning.
