Iced Pom-Mojito Spritzers

Ingredients:
  • 1/2 cup mint leaves, plus 4 mint sprigs for garnish
  • 1 1/2 tbsp granular sugar or granular sugar substitute
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice, plus 4 lime slices for each garnish
  • 1 cup unsweetened 100% pomegranate juice
  • 2 cups chilled sugar-free cranberry seltzer water
  • Ice Cubes
Makes 4 (1-cup Servings)

WW POINTS VALUE: 1 pt.

 Note: This recipe appears in the South Beach Diet Taste of Summer Cookbook. The picture in the cookbook looked so beautiful I had to try it. I was on a roll with the Jamaican Jerk rubbed steak on the hot day so I though I would keep the Caribbean theme going. I've never had a mojito and I've always wanted to try one. This drink may look like a total mess with all the mint leaves and the pomegranate juice but it's quite nice. All the fruit and mint flavors give this drink a nice taste and wake your taste buds. This drink is perfect after a long hot day.
