I love mojitos as they are such a summery drink. A perfect cool beverage to sip on when the summer heat is doing its thing. And its one of those drinks that can be made low carb by simply melting some Stevia in a small amount of hot water. I put a good heaping tablespoon of Stevia in a cup, about 1/4 cup of water in the bottom of a mug, a couple mint leaves in, and nuked it for 30 seconds.
I love the classic mojito, but adding berries or fruits that you love would be just as good and refreshing!
