it's spring AND it's the weekend, so i think it is time to get our mojito on! MOJITO! if i'm feeling a little more fancy then a vodka, soda + lime, mojitos are my go to cocktail. they are so fresh thanks to the mint & citrus. i usually stick to drinks that don't contain a lot of sugar because that never goes over well! i am sure you are all familiar with zevia's sugar free sodas, but they make sparkling water too! i used zevia's lime sparkling water to give the mojito that double lime kick. it is the perfect addition to a classic mojito. zevia's sparkling water is very lightly sweetened with stevia (just like the sodas) making it zero calories too. i am a sparkling water addict & this is one of my go to drinks to hydrate with (they make other fruit flavours too). to stick with the sugar free vibes, i used a touch of stevia as a sweetener as well. i don't like my mojito's super sugary, so feel free to add in a touch more sweetener then i do. happy weekend friends! xo
