Prickly Pear Cactus Sipper available here
Hey mommas!! It's that time again!! Finally Friday!! I'm super excited this Friday because I have a date night planned with Mr. Mojito and we NEVER get date nights!! We do try to have regular lunch dates but those are usually short and sweet as we both always have work to get back to! But there's just something so nice and relaxing about having a date night every once in a while!! Who am I kidding?? I mean as OFTEN AS POSSIBLE!!! You mommas get it--we all could use as many date nights sans kids fighting, whining, and cleaning ketchup off faces as we can get...am I right??!!
Anyway, as much as I love a good cocktail on Fridays, cocktails are notoriously caloric and loaded with sugar-- and those can add up quickly on the waistline unfortunately. I'm under the belief that all drinks should be calorie-free right....I mean I completely understand that a slice of cheesecake is going to cost me loads of calories and fat, but do I really have to admit that cocktails have lots of calories and sugar?? And what about my Pumpkin Spice Latte?? Can't I enjoy that guilt-free for goodness sake?! Ugh. Reality sucks sometimes. Don't fret though mommas!!!! I have a delicious, quick, and delightful cocktail that is UNDER 120 CALORIES. Um YEAH you heard me right. All the deliciousness of a fabulous cocktail without the guilt...yes please!! (pssss the secret is LaCroix---if you haven't tried LaCroix yet, we may not even be friends. LaCroix is seriously my secret to life. Do yourself a favor and get you some STAT...in all flavors..they're all delish! But I will admit I'm partial to the Peach-Pear!) So here it is mommas...my figure-friendly Skinny Sparkling Juice served up in my adorable Prickly Pear Cactus Sipper!! Cheers mommas to good guilt-free cocktails and to date nights without the kids!! ;)
