Mojo Jojo

ABOUT

Sugar, spice and everything nice … you know where we’re going with this. Revisit your childhood with this drink named after the Powerpuff Girls’ arch-nemesis: the super smart mad scientists Mojo Jojo. But here’s the twist — it’s nonalcoholic.

Just like Mojo Jojo, this drink is super in its own way. Fresh blackberries and blueberries are packed with antioxidants, are high in fiber, and are even believed to help improve memory, lower blood pressure, and prevent heart disease. In addition to be being nutrient rich and helping to mask bad breathe, who doesn’t love the refreshing taste of fresh mint.

We even use a homemade aloe vera syrup in place of your average simple syrup (see below). Aloe vera juice has be shown to help clear up and protect your skin, relieve constipation and other digestive issues, as well as get you one step closer to getting your daily dose of essential vitamins and minerals. Additionally, aloe vera juice assist in detoxing your liver. Since this drink is nonalcoholic, you can go ahead and pre-make another guilt free.

This drink is served in a mason jar or collins glass. Garnish with additional mint leaves and berries.
