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. —Florence Fabricant

You nailed it. When the recipe originally ran, the explanation above accompanied it.

Made these for my birthday, and I’d do it again! Easy to adjust sweetness and lime juice to taste, and my guests also enjoyed them.

Made a thermos for the moms watching our kids at a soccer game. It was perfect for a late summer day - and light enough that we could all still run errands afterward. Definitely keeping this one

Delicious and refreshing! Perfect for a Sunday afternoon zoom gathering!
