Skinny Mint Mojito
We all know alcohol doesn’t come calorie or carb free, despite those falsely advertised zero-carb spritzers. Mixed cocktails are typically the most flavorful and enjoyable, but they don’t come without a hefty price – a high sugar and high calorie price at that. I personally never used to like mint mojitos because they were just too sweet for my liking. Vodka + soda water is typically my go-to, but honestly this is slowly becoming a close second ever since I first made this version with a couple easy, healthier ingredient swaps! This Skinny Mint Mojito is a healthy twist on your traditional mojito, easily saving you over 100 calories, without sacrificing the flavor.
