“Drinking alcohol doesn't make you fat, It makes you lean....
Against bars, tables, chairs, and poles.”
The weather looks very promising this upcoming weekend. With summer like weather it is time for a summer like drink.
The Mojito is very refreshing on a hot day. The bad part a typical Mojito has 250-300 calories. This can add up real fast. This Mojito recipe has much less calories and taste great.
To make the calorie-free simple syrup in this exotic elixir, bring equal parts water and sugar substitute to a boil, remove from heat, and let cool. Refrigerate and use as needed.
Ingredients:
4 mint leaves
4 basil leaves
3 lime wedges
1 ⁄2oz simple syrup made with sugar substitute
2 oz club soda
2 oz diet lemon-lime soda
1 1⁄4 oz Cruzan rum
1. Stir mint, basil, lime wedges, and
simple syrup in a tall glass.
2. Fill glass with ice.
3. Add club soda and lemon-lime soda; top off with rum.
4. Garnish with mint, basil, and two berries on a toothpick.
5. Enjoy!
