Delightful and refreshing cocktail to enjoy at the end of the day! This Skinny Strawberry Mojito is made with fresh mint, fresh strawberries and sweetener.
STRAWBERRY MOJITO
I made this Strawberry Mojito as part of this weekend’s celebration!
What am I celebrating? My graduation, of course!! I graduated Friday with my Master’s Degree and I’ve been celebrating all weekend. My baby sister, little man and I have been spending lots of time at the beach, going to the movies, having slumber party movie nights and I got to kick back with a cocktail (or two) every night. I ate so much over the weekend, I definitely needed those cocktails to be skinny!
This one was PERFECT! It’s light in flavor and very refreshing. Fresh strawberries, mint and lime make for one heavenly cocktail!
Okay…Please tell me that I’m not the only one that thinks about that Mojito commercial from a few years ago every time I drink or make one?! You know the one I’m talking about? The one with people dancing while the bartender is mashing the mint for Mojito. I love that commercial and I may even do the shake every time I make this cocktail. Luckily, I do it in the privacy of my home because the music only plays in my head.
Well, the shake is not necessary while making this deliciousness but it definitely helps to get the fun times started!
