Here's a flavorful nonalcoholic mojito—a zero-proof twist on the sugarcane and rum drink of old Havana. There's no rum in this nonalcoholic drink, but the immense flavor remains. However, in this incarnation, I make it a bit differently. Not wanting a lot of little mint pieces in my teeth, I've created it so that the mint flavor gets infused beforehand; I then garnish the drink with a few mint leaves for added decoration and flavor.

Note:

With larger mint leaves, use 6 or 7.
