The weather is getting warmer, the sun is shining more and cocktails are becoming lighter. These sugar-free Mojito Wine Spritzers are under 100 calories, lightly sweet, refreshing and guilt-free!
Ahhh…the weather has been so nice and it feels fantastic to be out of my winter hibernation. I always seem to “hide out” in the winter. I don’t actually become depressed, I just kind of become a huge hermit. Now that the sun is shining more and I have been running outside more, it feels great to feel normal again. Step aside Cabernet and Pinot Noir, I am moving back to my white wine and light cocktails. I am so seasonal with my drinks and food it’s not even funny.
If you are like me, you enjoy a fun cocktail (or two) with this changing weather. I decided to put two of my favorites together, wine and mojitos!
I love mojitos. I mean, who could say no to muddled fresh mint? But sometimes all that sugar gives me a belly ache. Not any more!

April 23, 2015 at 4:13 pmI always start to crave light, refreshing food and drinks when the weather starts to warm up, too. This mojito would make for great springtime sipping.

Kirsten/ComfortablyDomestic says
April 25, 2015 at 5:14 pmOh my goodness, this sounds absolutely perfect! I’m very seasonal with my beverage cravings, as well. Spring/summer are all about light, fizzy, citrusy, minty drinks for me.
Angie | Big Bear's Wife says
April 27, 2015 at 1:32 pmOur weather is being so freakin weird here. One day it’s hot and the next its’ cold and rainy. However I’d take one of these spritzers no matter that the weather was! Yum!
Colleen (Souffle Bombay) says
April 29, 2015 at 1:26 amOoooh I like, it looks and sounds delicious! Funny all of a sudden I have been into red wine, so not the season for it!
