WHITE WINE MOJITO
I tend to prefer cocktails that follow classic recipes. But on a recent trip to southern Utah, I happily sipped a moderated mojito at Red Mountain Resort, which does not serve spirits, only beer and wine. The rum in this rendition had been swapped for sauvignon blanc. The general manager, Tracey Welsh, explained: "Our inspiration was to offer a lower alcohol content in cocktail favorites our guests love, allowing them to wake up feeling refreshed the next day, and ready to go for early morning hikes." That's providing you can drink just one.

Steps:
- Take 1/2 lime (cut crosswise) and cut off 1 thin slice and reserve. Cut the rest into 2 wedges. Place in shaker and muddle with 6 fresh mint leaves and 1 teaspoon agave syrup. Add 1/2 cup chilled sauvignon blanc and some ice, and shake well. Serve in a stemmed goblet, topped with 1/4 cup chilled club soda and garnished with reserved lime slice.
