Mojitos

[SarahK]

Hi all,

I'm off to Cuba in October and I'm wondering whether anybody has tried mojitos before and what the impact is on blood sugar.

I'm hoping that the alcohol content cancels out the effect of the sugar that they add into the drink...but that maybe wishful thinking.

I'm a type 2, no meds - just diet and exercise.

Thanks,

Sarah

Fortunately the best rums or rhums never reach our shores. Try the light golden rums/rhums of the area with only ice. Very neat, and very refreshing. Add mint if you may but avoid the sugar. And avoid the high alco rums, better about 40/45 by volume.

Not Cuban but Rhum de Plantations St James from Martinique is something else.
