Mint Vodka Limeade Cocktail

I've decided to start a new series! If you're anything like me, you freeze when the bartender asks you what you want to drink. I avoid drinks that are too sweet, since they are loaded with calories and give you the worst hangover. But I get so bored of just getting a glass of wine or prosecco. In this series I'm going to share easy to make, low-calorie drinks. These drinks are not rocket science. But for some reason, I never think to order them or to make them.  They're great to make when you have company and you can definitely order them in a restaurant or bar.

Mint Vodka Limeade Cocktail

Ingredients:

• Handful of fresh mint
• 2 limes
• Vodka (as little or as much as you want)

What to do:
