Lighter Mojitos! (NWR)

I just had to share this with you ladies...

My summer drinks are sangria and mojitos. I just found a way to make mojitos a little lighter. 2 or 3 quarter limes, a few mint leaves (mulled), rum, club soda, and sweet and low (or some sweetener) rather than simple syrup. We're going to drink anyway...may as well cut some calories It's so good!

Good idea!! I'm trying that this weekend!

There was an article in the NY Times recently about how cocktails with diet soda intoxicate people about 15 minutes faster than regular soda. I think the sugar in regular soda slows down the alcohol absorption. Pretty interesting!
