White Wine Mojito

5.0(100)

I tend to prefer cocktails that follow classic recipes. But on a recent trip to southern Utah, I happily sipped a moderated mojito at Red Mountain Resort, which does not serve spirits, only beer and wine. The rum in this rendition had been swapped for sauvignon blanc. The general manager, Tracey Welsh, explained: “Our inspiration was to offer a lower alcohol content in cocktail favorites our guests love, allowing them to wake up feeling refreshed the next day, and ready to go for early morning hikes.” That’s providing you can drink just one.
