Skinny Minny Strawberry Mojito for Memorial Day Weekend


So it's Memorial Day weekend, time to partay! Right?  Well I know there will be a lot of out-door events, fairs, parades, BBQs, and the list goes on.  So have fun but be safe!

Remember when snacking at parties don't park yourself next to the food all day or else most likely you will mindlessly eat.  Instead focus on time with friends and family reminiscing about those loved ones that fought for our country.

Also if you are partaking in drinking some delicious cocktails, maybe bring your own low-cal options.  Here is one you can make ahead of time and share with others. 

Skinny Minny Strawberry Mojito

1 oz Bacardi silver
1 lime wedge
6-8 mint leaves
1 strawberry sliced
1 cup Crystal light mojito drink
1/2 cup soda water
ice
Garnish with mint sprig and strawberry slice
Add all ingredients except soda water and shake or stir then top with soda water...or better yet muddle (lightly crush) the lime, mint and strawberry first then add the remaining ingredients (except soda water), shake then add soda water.  

Be sure to have a glass of water in between each drink to stay well hydrated!

This drink has only 70 calories!!! Enjoy!!!
