This Vodka Mojito Spritz is a fabulous cocktail that is light, healthy and made with natural sweetener!

Cocktails on a Tuesday, why not?  This vodka mojito spritz is my jam lately so I figured I would share it with you!  All I craved when pregnant was beer for some reason so when I was no longer pregnant I was so excited to have all the beeeeer.  BUT now that I am realizing my alcohol intake can’t be calorie and carb heavy if I want to get back into shape – skinny cocktails it is! Remember that honey syrup I made last week?  Well that is the sweetener I use in this. It has the perfect balance of sweet, sour and bubbly and it is a great cocktail for the end of summer!  I like to think fall is really starting but the native southern californian I am knows better – we still have 1 sold month left of warmer weather.

Yesterday was actually chilly and overcast in the morning while at my stroller strides workout and it was glorious!!  I also think this postpartum life makes me hot all the time so why not cool down with a Vodka Mojito Spritz.  I always used to be cold at all times and since pregnancy I run hot hot hot!  So I am extra excited for fall because this AC bill from being home all summer with a newborn is quite a situation.  Until the days of hot toddys come around, make yourself this DELISH drink!  It would also be amazing without the alcohol if you just want a tasty drink too. So let’s get the details:
