EASY Low Carb / Low Sugar Mojito Recipe

[Jill]

I'm just a bit behind the times, only recently discovery Mojitos. However, the kind at most restaurants and the mixes you can buy are loaded with sugar which I do not need nor want. I looked online and found a few low carb / low sugar mojito recipes and have made them as below and just LOVE them. I like them better than the mixes or from the restaurants "this" way below.

• 6 or so mint leaves that you crush a little bit at the bottom of a tall class / high ball / tumbler
• 1/2 lime, sliced and squeezed and put into the bottom of the class
• Additional squirt of lime juice from plastic lime (optional)
• Ice
• Bacardi Limon 1.5 - 2 ounces (but any brand light rum would probably be fine)
• Diet Lemon-Lime Soda (I like diet Sierra Mist)
• Straw

It's so good!!! Very crisp and refreshing. Not too sweet, but doesn't taste strong of alcohol at all. Even H likes them and he almost never likes a drink. Perfect summer drink!!!

Jill those are one of my most favorite summer drinks...I will have to try your recipe. I sometimes will add alittle ice tea to my mojitos...I tend to be able to drink alittle more!!

And of course you make yours with Bacardi!! I wonder why?? Can horses eat mint leaves??

Ah...Mojitos...the laser treatment antidote!

Sounds like the perfect drink for sitting outdoors on a summer eventing at the Mingus Cafe...of course, we'll have to ignore the dirty looks from horses who think we should share! (and they always do...)

I'm just a bit behind the times, only recently discovery Mojitos. Perfect summer drink!!!

I'm behind with you......I saw this topic and though "Oh Boy, now

I'm going to find out what a mojito is" I've heard the word tossed around on TV or

the radio........ I thought it was a Mexican food.......I like Mexican food but never

saw it on a food menu at any Mexican restuarants. NOW, I know! Sounds refreshing!

MMMMMMMMMMMMM sounds yummy! I just might have to try those out tonight after spending the day trimming all the horses feet. I'm sure I will be aching and will need a drink to relax.

Jill sounds like a winner. Will have to try that this weekend. Boy Susan, coming from and living in the desert that OCEAN looks awesome!! I have to drive to San Diego to even see anything like that. Right now the beaches are so crowded with the desert folk trying to cool off.
