Mockologist's Note: This Canyon Ranch No-jito Mocktail gives you the refreshing taste of a standard mojito without any after effects. Embrace the benefits from limes, which provide vitamin C, a great immunity booster. The mint leaves are a good source of vitamin A, a fat-soluble vitamin that is critical for eye health and night vision, and can promote the digestive system by stimulating digestive enzymes.
