Mojito Recipe

O M G…..Can I just, for one brief moment, express my insane obsession with mojitos?! I seriously CANNOT get enough of them, but being on Weight Watchers, the average mojito recipe can typically have 6-10 Weight Watchers Points! And if you drink as many I do, you’d have all your daily points gone in just a few drinks. Yikes! So when I found this 2 point value mojito recipe, I was super psyched to give it a try. And it’s the perfect low calorie cocktail recipe to serve up this Memorial Day! The recipe does call for Splenda, and I’m not always a big fan of artificial sweeteners, but sometimes, it’s the only way to get the point value lowered without sacrificing too much taste. So, if you are looking for a good Memorial Day Drink Recipe, add this weight watcher mojito recipe to your menu. Your weight watching guests will love you!

    This recipe was built on the previous Points system and has not yet been re-calculated for the new PointsPlus.

    Two things:

    1. For those who are hesitant about Splenda, an all-natural alternative is Stevia, which is completely plant based. They have it in liquid or powder form.

    Also,

    2. How is this mojito only 2 points when the WW book says any jigger of liquor is 4 points?

    Another perfect low cal version is TY KU's Superfruit Mojito!! It has been my go to drink for almost anything. And so simple to make, 2 oz TY KU Liqueur, Fresh Mint, Squeeze of Lemon/Lime/Orange, and a Splash of Diet Citrus Soda. Takes about 5 seconds and is low calorie, which makes it way more enjoyable.

    Considering everything that has been said and written about Splenda (it is not natural; it is a chlorinated artificial sweetener), I would stay away from it. Otherwise, great recipe for mojitos!

    Genius, Laloosh!

    I never considered using flavored club soda in my cocktails. Another winner.
