These low carb blueberry mojitos are the perfect accompaniment to your healthy summer celebrations. Perfectly sweet and refreshing with no added sugar, and a crisp mint and lime flavour.

Low Carb Blueberry Mojito Recipe

 

Do you remember the first time you ever had a mojito? For me, it was love at first sip. Or maybe it was darker than that. Total obsession at first sip. That perfect combination of mint and lime together with a touch of sweetness and a kick of rum. Oh my, I get all warm and fuzzy just thinking about it.

They rank up there among my favourite cocktails, along with a really dry martini and a good margarita. There simply isn’t anything more refreshing on a hot summer evening than a really good mojito. Whoever invented it deserves my utmost admiration. Cheers to you!

I’ve made my own share of mojitos over the years, some good, some not so good. It took a while to perfect the right combination of sweetness to the tart lime and the fresh mint. I think I finally got it right while on a trip to Martha’s Vineyard.

How to Make Low Carb Blueberry Mojitos

Three women and 6 kids sharing a house on the island for a week, and I brought something like two pounds of limes over from the mainland to practice with. My roomies (the adult ones) were not unhappy with that arrangement and we would take a large mason jar filled with them to our daily late afternoon beach jaunts. But don’t tell the Martha’s Vineyard police, as I am pretty sure we weren’t supposed to drink in public. It is puritan Massachusetts after all!

Blueberries, lime and mint. Everything you need for the perfect blueberry mojito!

But that was my pre-prediabetes days, so my love for mojitos took a backseat for a while there. The problem is that the best mojitos are made with simple syrup and that’s not so simple when going sugar-free. The sweetener I love best (Swerve) doesn’t like to be boiled into solution and tends to recrystallize out as it cools, which isn’t so great for cocktails. I did do a mojito recipe a few years back that was quite good but it was made with Honest Fizz, a soft drink that’s already sweetened with erythritol and stevia.

Still, I saw had a large basket of fresh blueberries the other day and they were just begging me to tackle blueberry mojitos. Begging, I tell you. And I felt I was up to the challenge. I decided to skip the simple syrup altogether and blend the blueberries up with some powdered Swerve and only then mix it into the rest of the ingredients. And you know what? They were perfect, just perfect. I guess simple syrup isn’t a requirement after all!

    Ooo! Sounds interesting, and just in time to try for July 4th holiday.
    Maybe I will make them tonight, Got just gobs of mint in the garden right now, cause it has been a wet early summer here, so it is growing like crazy! Got some HUGE Habanero peppers too!

      Club soda never has sugar. Are you thinking of tonic water?

    I have dark rum in my pantry but not white. Have you ever tried it with dark?

      Typically mojitos use white rum, although you are welcome to try with dark.

    These are great but I used homemade mint ‘sugar’ which made the colour less clear .. and the blueberries definitely made it quite murky overall. Tasted amazing though!

    Can this be made ahead for a group of 12?guests and then served from a pitcher?

      I can’t see why not. Add the soda water later, though, so it doesn’t run out of fizz before you serve.

      It’s made from sugar cane but the distillation process consumes all the sugar. Just google “rum nutritional information” and you will see… 0 carbs.
