Reality has hit. Summer is officially over. Our tide has turned from beachy summer fun to school days and Halloween costume prepping.

Living in the Carolinas means that every fall I struggle to match the weather outside to the idea that I should be decorating with pumpkins and colored leaves.

Now that our Sundays involve a few hours in front of the tv watching football games and I'm the resident football party food maker, I thought it would be fun to create a summer-to-fall mocktail that lets me appreciate the hot weather but still respect the turn of the calendar to a new season.

Tim and I both LOVE minty mojitos. The summertime version is just straight up lime and mint but to bring the drink into the season, I thought it would be fun to play with the color and turn it bright orange!

These super simple blood orange minty mojito mocktails are a fun and guilt-free way to enjoy a little fruity beverage while watching the game on Sundays.

How to Lighten a Mojito

One of the problems I have with doctored up mojitos is that they tend to be far too sweet.

To combat the sourness from the blood orange flavor, I mixed in a little SPLENDA® Naturals Sugar & Stevia Sweetener Blend that I had hanging out in my pantry.

The rest of the ingredients for the mix are so easy to prepare! I simply squeezed fresh lime juice from 8 small limes to stir into a mixture of water, melted blood orange sorbet and fizzy club soda. The SPLENDA® Naturals Sugar & Stevia Sweetener Blend and a bunch of fresh mint brighten up the mix and keep things just the right amount of sweet.
