Keto Mojito Recipe

Keto Mojito

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 oz white rum
• 10 fresh mint leaves, plus extra for garnish
• 1 oz fresh lime juice
• 1 tablespoon keto-friendly sweetener (such as erythritol or monk fruit)
• Ice cubes
• Club soda (sugar-free)
• Lime slices for garnish

Instructions:

Muddle Mint:

1. Prepare Mint Leaves:
   • In a glass, place fresh mint leaves. Ensure the mint leaves are clean and free of any stems.
2. Muddle Mint:
   • Gently muddle the mint leaves in the glass using a muddler or the back of a spoon. Muddle just enough to release the mint’s aroma without tearing the leaves.

Mix Lime Juice and Sweetener:

3. Add Lime Juice:
   • Squeeze fresh lime juice and add it to the glass with the muddled mint leaves.
4. Add Sweetener:
   • Add the keto-friendly sweetener to the lime and mint mixture. Adjust the sweetness to your liking.

Add Rum and Ice:

5. Pour in White Rum:
   • Pour 1 1/2 oz of white rum into the glass.
6. Add Ice Cubes:
   • Fill the glass with ice cubes. This will help chill the drink and dilute it slightly.

Top with Club Soda:

7. Top with Club Soda:
   • Pour sugar-free club soda over the ice and mint mixture to fill the glass. Leave some space at the top for garnish.

Stir and Garnish:

8. Stir Well:
   • Stir the ingredients well to combine flavors and ensure the sweetener is dissolved.
9. Garnish:
   • Garnish the Keto Mojito with additional fresh mint leaves and lime slices for a visually appealing presentation.

Serve and Enjoy:

10. Serve Immediately:
    • Serve the Keto Mojito immediately while it’s cold and refreshing.
11. Enjoy Responsibly:
    • Enjoy your Keto Mojito responsibly, sipping and savoring the flavors.

Notes:

• Adjust Sweetness: Taste the drink before serving and adjust the sweetness by adding more keto-friendly sweetener if needed.
• Variations: Experiment with flavored sparkling water or add a few drops of mint extract for extra minty freshness.
• Mocktail Option: Omit the rum for a non-alcoholic keto-friendly mojito, also known as a virgin mojito.
• Presentation Tip: For a stylish presentation, serve the Keto Mojito in a highball glass and use a sprig of fresh mint as a stir stick.
