Skinny Mojitos

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!

More Cruzan Strawberry Rum

Strawberry Daiquiri

6 cups ice
1/2 cup white sugar
4 ounces frozen strawberries
1/8 cup lime juice
1/2 cup lemon juice
3/4 cup Cruzan Strawberry Rum
1/4 cup lemon lime flavored carbonated beverage

Blend in blender.

The recipe made approximately 4 tall glasses of daiquiris and although pretty darn sweet and filling – they were yummy. John later thought that we should have added a floater of Cruzan Black Strap for a little extra punch.

Last, but not least, we put aside a Strawberry Rum Lemonade recipe that included simple syrup to try another “skinny” recipe. Hey – you gotta save calories somewhere!! This is what we came up with.

Skinny Strawberry Rum Lemonade

2 oz. Cruzan Strawberry Rum
4 oz. Crystal Light Lemonade
Sliced strawberries
4 to 6 blueberries

Mix Cruzan Strawberry Rum with the Crystal Light Lemonade. Stir in sliced strawberries and blueberries. Pour over ice.
The result was refreshing and light with a nice blend of strawberry and lemon. And who knows, with all that fruit, it might even be good for you!
