Keto Coconut Mojito

Summer is here and it is HOT in Texas!! Like really, really hot from morning to night!

The relentless Texas sun is brutal on my garden, but one thing that grows easily no matter what is mint. And what better to make with all that fresh mint than a refreshing mojito!

One sip of this fruity, minty, bubbly co*cktail and you’ll start to cool off right away!

Another reason I love mojitos is that it is easy to make a mojito low carb, so that it doesn’t mess up your keto diet! So if you’ve been wondering, “are mojitos keto??” — THIS one is!!

This is my favorite keto co*cktail right now — I hope you love it as much as I do!

What You’ll Need to Make Low Carb Mojitos

Mint leaves
Water
Monk fruit sweetener(granulated) —We love Lakanto brand monk fruit sweeteners — if you shop throughmy linkand use code “SOCCERMOM” you can save 15% every time you purchase! This particular sweetener combines the clean taste of monk fruit with the easy mix-ability of erythritol for an unbeatable blend!
Whole lime
Coconut flakes — make sure they’re the unsweetened type!
Rum
Sparkling water — we used coconut flavored, but you can use regular sparkling water too.

Kitchen Supplies Used:

Muddler
co*cktail shaker set — This is my go-to set! My husband and I were bartenders for years, and the “Boston shaker” style tins are by far the easiest to use and clean!

How to Make a Keto Mojito with Rum

A traditional mojito is made with rum, so that is what we used here. My husband’s family is Cuban, so sticking to tradition is a must for me!

Is Rum Keto?

Many hard spirits contain zero grams of carbs — that includes the light (clear) rum used in this recipe. The main watch-out with alcohol and keto is the addition of flavorings or sugars.

Another thing to keep in mind is that even though straight alcohol contains no carbs, it should still be enjoyed in moderation. Excessive alcohol consumption can slow down the rate of ketosis and it also lowers inhibitions, making us more likely to make food choices we wouldn’t otherwise.

Can I use another type of liquor?

If rum isn’t your favorite spirit, a great substitution here is vodka because it is flavorless and mixes well with just about anything. Be sure to stick with plain vodka to avoid added sugars and carbs.
