How to Make a Low Cal Mojito

When summer is here--you don't need to skip the summer drinks--just make them a little lighter in calories and you can still take part in the fun! Here is my recipe for a simple and refreshing low-cal Mojito.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 1/2 lime cut into 6 wedges
• 1 1/2 tbsp. lime juice
• 2 tbsp. torn mint leaves
• 1/2 tsp honey, warmed
• 2 oz. rum
• 4 oz. club soda
• Pestle or long spoon
• Martini shaker
• Rocks glass
• Ice

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

2. Combine honey, rum and club soda; stir gently to dissolve honey.

3. Add to muddle mixture and stir until mixture is well-chilled.

4. Strain into the rocks glass filled with ice; garnish with mint and lime if desired.
