Now that the holidays are over, we’ve been busy testing “Skinny” Rum Drinks – or cocktails with lower calorie counts. We’ve been enjoying Skinny Strawberry Rum & Lemonade for quite some time, but we thought it would be good to have a few in the repertoire to change it up a little.
Mojitos seemed a logical choice since we enjoy the heck outta them, so we tried out a Skinny Mojito & a Skinny Strawberry Mojito and really like them both! If you like your mojito on the sweeter side, use the Sprite Zero or Diet 7-Up and adjust your lo-cal sweetener level. Like your mojitos a little less sweet? Use club soda instead of the Sprite Zero or Diet 7-up. Want more rum in your drink? 80 proof rum is 65 calories per ounce, so just adjust per taste (and desired calorie level!)
The recipes below have just about the right amount of sweet and tart for our taste – feel free to modify for your taste. Enjoy!
