TGIF! Happy hour after work? Inviting friends over for after work drinks? We recommend serving and enjoying Bethenny Frankel's low-cal mojito. Some mojitos pack up to 250 empty calories, but Frankel's version contain only 150. Using fresh lime juice and honey, instead of processed mixers and sugar, this drink is light and fresh, just like it was meant to be.
1/2 lime, cut into 6 wedges
1 1/2 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons torn mint leaves
1/2 teaspoon honey, warmed
2 ounces rum
4 ounces club soda
Fresh mint sprig (optional)
Lime wedge (optional)
Preparation
1. Fill a martini shaker with 1 cup ice. Add lime wedges, lime juice, and mint. Muddle lime and mint with a pestle or a long spoon until well-bruised and fragrant.
2. Combine honey, rum, and club soda; stir gently to dissolve honey. Add to muddled mixture; stir until mixture is well-chilled. Strain into a rocks glass filled with ice; garnish with mint and lime, if desired.

Serve with cut up veggies and a low calorie dip and add baked chips and salsa to make sure you aren't drinking on an empty stomach. Happy Friday!
