Keep reading to decide which to go with, but first, let’s talk about the classic mojito and what makes a skinny girl mojito “skinny.”
A Classic Mojito
A classic mojito is a Cuban highball cocktail made with white rum, sugar, lime juice, soda water, and mint. Several variations have been created over the years, including adding fruity flavors or switching up the base spirit, but one variation that is quite popular is the skinny girl mojito.
What Is a Skinny Girl Mojito?
Skinny Girl is actually a brand that focuses on creating ready-to-drink low-sugar and low-calorie versions of the most popular cocktails and wine.
However, they were one of the first to create low-calorie cocktail options and have been such a powerhouse in the cocktail market that when other “light” recipes and beverage products came about, people referred to them all as skinny girl versions.
So while a low sugar and reduced-calorie mojito might be called a skinny girl mojito from time to time, it should actually be referred to as just a skinny mojito.
