I thank a former co-worker and eventual dear friend of mine for turning me on to the magic of the mojits many years ago. The traditional recipe includes sugar, which is obviously not a part of my meal plan. However, a few simple changes make this low-carb mojito a delicious masterful solution.
This version includes rum. Simply omit it for a non-alcoholic version. The diet ginger ale in this recipe, paired with the mint, lemon, and lime are quite addicting all on their own!
