It is Friday! Hooray! And I am ready for happy hour! However, didn’t I just put up a post yesterday about how Happy Hour is Affecting Your Waistline? Why yes, yes I did. But that doesn’t mean I can’t have a drink. It just helped me realize what I was consuming when I can’t get enough of those delicious summer Mojito’s and how many calories are really going onto my hips. So I found a refreshing, summer cocktail that is just as delicious and not going to ruin all the dieting I did all week. This recipe can be made at home for that end of summer BBQ, or you can request your bartender to make it since it is an easy peasy recipe.
