I think that mojitos could be my official drink of summer! Could it be the fresh mint that is making them taste extra perfect? Here are two simple mojito recipes that are easy to make and so refreshing with only 80 - 85 calories each!

For the mint, I have been using pineapple mint which is a variety of mint that I picked up at a local farm stand, which has a light sweet flavor and tastes great.

Plus minus the rum, this makes great mojito-infused water!

Cheers to summer!
