Happy St. Patrick’s Day!  I don’t know about you, but if there is ever a reason to drink a good mojito, this is a great time for it. Even if you own no ‘green’, you can wear it with your pretty and delicious cocktail spirit in hand!

Taking the traditional iced mojito to the next level, here is a simple way to put a fun & lighter spin on that ordinary recipe.

JELL-O Mojito

Serves 6                20 min prep time

                              3 hour total (for freezing)

Ingredients

1 c. boiling water

1 pkg. (3 oz.) Sugar-Free JELL-O Lime flavor gelatin

¾ c. carbonated lemon-lime seltzer

¼ c. light whiskey OR water (for those who want to keep it virgin)

2 Tbsp. finely chopped fresh mint (optional)

2 Tbsp. limejuice

Directions

ADD boiling water to gelatin mix in medium bowl; stir 2 min. until completely dissolved. Stir in remaining ingredients.
