Next to froses<\/a>, Moscow mules are one of summer\u2019s most popular cocktails<\/a>. But sadly, this seemingly light drink packs more than 180 calories and 20 grams of sugar per glass (hello simple syrup and sugary ginger beer). Never fear: In this lighter version of the cocktail, we make our own quick 10-minute ginger beer using pureed ginger and sparkling water. To sweeten it up, we use stevia<\/a>, an all-natural sweetener, which cuts the sugar per glass down to just half a gram and under 100 calories! You’ll gladly cheers to this low-calorie Moscow mule recipe.<\/p>\n

Oh, and before you sip \u2014 beware of copper mugs that aren\u2019t lined with nickel or stainless steel. When mixed with acidic drinks, cooper can be toxic<\/a> and cause nausea, vomiting and other illnesses. (Not quite a day at the beach…)<\/p>\n
