Forget sodas! You’ll love this non-alcoholic drink that tastes almost like a Mojito and super refreshing. Sparkling drinks are a great alternative to alcohol and soda. They are light and refreshing, and provide that bubbly kick you love. Lime drinks are especially refreshing because of their slightly tart citrus taste.

Quencher drinks keeps you hydrated and help you cut back on sugar and calories.

Aren’t you supposed to muddle the mint leave in the lime juice? Like a mojito??
Hi Pete, muddling the mint in the lime juice is not necessary. However, you can use this method if you choose too. Often, over crushing the leaves can cause them to release a bitter taste. Sometimes it’s best to use a simple method for the best flavor!
Why not club soda like an alcoholic Mojito? I thought there were no carbs in club soda.
Club Soda contains other minerals which can alter the taste. Seltzer water has a much more pure water taste and will not affect the flavor of the quencher.
