    Both of those are very sugar heavy drinks, but an alternative that some magarita fans have liked that is lower calories, tequila, with club soda and squeze some lime juice into it. This will not be nearly as sweet as a margarita, but a good substitute.

    Skinny Girl Margarita! Look for it in the tequilla section, it's NOT a mix.

    For the margarita (and strawberry daquiris!), there are the sugar free pouches (like crystal light) that you can add alcohol to so that they taste like the real thing....I bought some either at WalMart or Target (the store brand) and they taste good plain, but I am anxious to try them with the alcohol. The box I have even has directions on the back how to make it with alcohol.
    Not sure about the mojito though.
    Good luck!

    Try and see if you can find Cascade Ice Margarita mixer-it's only 10 calories a serving!! (just make sure to add tequila) My husband and I both really like it! We've only ever had it "on the rocks" so I'm not sure how it would taste blended.
    They have a bunch of different flavors, here's the link for one of the margarita recipes (scroll down to the bottom of the page)

    With tequila = 115 calories. Non-alcohol version = 20 calories.
