Vodka Mojitos
Fresh limes and mint leaves are muddled with the stevia in a large pitcher. Add ice, soda, and copious amounts of vodka and you now have a summer's day in a glass.
Servings: 6
- 4 limes plus more for garnish
- 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves plus more for garnish
- 2 tablespoons stevia in the raw
- 1 cup quality vodka
- 4 cups regular or diet lemon lime soda
- A bunch of ice
Wash the limes under warm water and dry. Cut the limes in halves and then quarters. Squeeze the juice directly into a large pitcher and toss the limes in.
Wash and dry the mint leaves. Strip them from their sprigs and bruise them in your hand (squish them).
Add to the pitcher. With a muddler or the handle of a large wooden spoon, "muddle" or smash the limes and mint together. This brings out the oils and essence of the lime and mint.
Add stevia, vodka, and soda. Mix well. Fill any remaining space in the pitcher with ice. Stir gently to combine.
Pour and garnish with lime rounds & mint.
