Ahhh yes! Spring is approaching... the weather is getting warmer...we are able to step outside again... and all is getting right with the world... except for one thing... BATHING SUIT SEASON! Yikes!
It's that time of year when we have to burn that extra insulated winter fat we put on from staying tucked inside the warm house. I turned 40 this year and this is NO JOKE!!! Love handles have come out of nowhere and rolls have developed in places I didn't know were possible. What the ????
That obnoxious quote, "A moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips." is now becoming my new truth. And I swear the bathing suits get tinier and tinier just when I need more coverage.... I love my wine and food... what's a girl to do?
I will give up a lot of things for health and well-being, but I am sorry; wine isn't one of them. FORTUNATELY, I came across FitVine Wine.
FitVine's Pinot Grigio is very dry, clean, and crisp. It's natural hints of citrus and goes beautifully with lime and mint. At only 90 calories, .2 grams of sugar, and 3 carbs, this Skinny Mojito is a girls new BFF! Enjoy! Xoxo -Katie.
How to make White Wine Skinny Mojito
Just chill the wine (Or add ice if you like), muddle a few mint leaves, and squeeze some fresh lime wedges. Out comes a refreshing, light, skinny mojito!!
*The full recipe is located in the recipe card at the bottom of the post.
How to make it sweeter
I am not a fan of sweet drinks... and this drink is very dry. For those who want a traditional "sweet" tasting mojito, you can add in 1 teaspoon of agave nectar. Me, myself, and I will drink it dry.

A moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips, haha so scary when you live by the Mediterranean beaches and spend about 6 months per year in bikini! This white wine mojito will also be my BFF this year, thanks for the tip!

This would get the name 'fröccs' in Hungarian and would be one of a million sprtizer recipes they love over here... I must give this a try in summer!
