With July 1st (Canada Day) and July 4th right around the corner I wanted to make sure that everyone has some refreshing, healthy, guilt-free cocktails to enjoy.
If you missed my Sparkling Grapefruit & Basil Cocktail you will want to check that out! It is one of my favorite summer cocktails. This post also features 6 other Skinny and/or Sugar Free Summer Cocktail Options for this long weekend (or any occasions this summer – including a Skinny Lime and Orange Margarita, Skinny White Strawberry Sangria, Mango Kombucha Mimosas and more).
Below is a really simple, quick recipe for Sugar Free Fresh Mint Mojitos. Also below you will find a really simple variation to turn this into a Skinny Moscow Mule. I think these recipes pair perfectly with our Mediterranean Style Grilled Portobello Stuffed Mushrooms.
These recipes are super simple, toss-together and easy to change depending on your taste.
