cocktail-party.jpg I’m not really a big drinker but love the name!…and FYI, should anyone tell you I have a fondness for Margaritas, they don’t really know me…my weakness is Mojitos…low calorie Mojitos…lots of them…well, not reallly…..ok, ok, lots of them…..I mean, they are low cal, right?…and they have fruit in them too (limes)…and vegetables (mint leaves and ginger)….why, look! Turns out they’re plumb healthy!!

MINNY MOO MOJITOS

Ingredients:
1-2 lime, cut into 6 wedges (I actually prefer a whole lime to get a full serving of fruit)
2 tablespoons lime juice (fresh or the plastic fake)
3 or 4 mint leaves (tear into quarters…not too small, you don’t want to have ’spinach teeth’)
piece of ginger root (I finely grate the root to get just a tiny bit of flavor into the muddled mix)
1 package of Splenda (or whatever lo cal sweetner works for you or if you don’t mind a few extra calories..try 1 tablespoon honey (warm up in
microwave first and don’t eat the rest of the bottle off your fingers or its not so low cal anymore)
Shot or 2 of Rum (try 1 first and maybe 2 for later batches, approx 2 oz)
Glass of sugar free club soda (double amount of Rum, approx 4-6 oz)

Instructions:
1. Fill a martini shaker with 1 cup ice. Add lime wedges, lime juice, mint and ginger. Muddle lime and mint with a pestle or a long spoon until well-bruised and fragrant.

2. Combine Splenda (or honey), rum and club soda and mix until Splenda or honey is dissolved; pour into shaker with fruits & veggies; strain into glass and add a lime wedge and mint leaf to make it pretty and drink up!
