    Mojitos are one of our favorite drinks! Whether it's nice warm weather, or even when you're just dreaming about it, this drink is so yummy. It just screams summer, and we had to add in mango, one of our favorite fruits of all time.

    Muddle fresh lime leaves, then combine fresh mango, and then puree it with lots of lime juice. We also made our own sugar free simple syrup to sweeten it. Don't forget the rum! Or, skip the booze and just make it a mango mocktail. 🙂

    So, what do you say? We suggest mixing up some refreshing mango mojitos for the weekend! This light and refreshing cocktail is easily made sugar free at home with the help of some sugar free simple syrup. This drink is vegan friendly and easy to make!

    If you want to get right into it, feel free to skip to the recipe card. Otherwise, there are lots of process shots and ideas for substitutions in the body of the post. This post is also available as a Google Web Story!

    Ingredients:​

    ingredients for a sugar free mango mojito recipe with text to denote different ingredients
    • Fresh mint leaves - An essential mojito ingredient. Just gently muddled.
    • Lime juice, fresh squeezed - Another essential mojito ingredient!
    • Sugar free simple syrup - In place of superfine sugar that is used in a regular mojito cocktail. If not concerned about sugar content, you could use regular, or really any sweetener you prefer.
    • Fresh mango - We make our own mango puree in a blender or food processor. You could also buy some mango nectar, but just watch out for added sugar content (if added sugar is a concern for you like it is for us).
    • Light rum
    • Ice
    • Club soda - To top.

    How to Make This Sugar Free Mango Mojito Recipe:

    There's really not too much to this recipe. To start, it definitely helps if you prepare your sugar free simple syrup ahead of time. We will include instructions on how to do this below. You want your simple syrup to cool down before mixing it with the other ingredients.

    Add chopped mango to a blender or food processor with simple syrup and lime juice. Blend until smooth. Strain through a metal sieve to get rid of any extra chunks if you don't want any in your drink, otherwise, you can leave it in. We like to leave it kind of pulpy, but it's a preference thing.

    In a glass, gently muddle some mint leaves. Next, add in the rum.

    Fill the glass with ice, then stir in the mango, lime juice and simple syrup mixture with a bar spoon. Top it with club soda.

    Tips For The Best Mango Mojitos:

    • Substitute no sugar added mango nectar for fresh mango if you don't want to mix up your own mango puree in the food processor. 
    • To make this in a cocktail shaker: If you don't have a blender or food processor, you can muddle the mango in the bottom of a cocktail shaker. You could also use some store bought mango puree.
    • To make this drink blended: You could easily place all ingredients in a blender as well, just make sure to use frozen mango, and maybe a little extra ice. 
    • For a lower carb version: mix in some of your favorite sugar mango beverage (this is our favorite) in place of some of the fresh mango. 

    How To Make Sugar Free Simple Syrup:

    A more modern way to make a Mojito is to use a simple syrup and luckily, a simple syrup is exactly what it sounds like, meaning it's very simple! You combine equal parts hot water and sugar free sweetener of choice and stir until it dissolves. Some sweeteners will crystallize once they are cold (ie. in the fridge), but you can remedy this by warming it up prior to using it if you prefer.

    Allulose is our preferred method for the texture and flavor, but we have personally found that using too much of it upsets our stomaches pretty badly. For a small amount, like what you would find in this cocktail, you might be just fine, but if you have a sensitivity it's definitely something to be aware of.

    *Allulose is slightly less sweet than sugar, so use 1 & ⅓ cups allulose to every 1 cup of water when making sugar free simple syrup.

    Frequently Asked Questions:

    Is Mango Low Carb?

    Typically, mango is not considered a low carb fruit. We like to bend the "rules" for our low carb and low sugar lifestyle. A 100g of serving of mango contains 15g of carbs.

    We personally love to incorporate a lot of fresh fruit into our low carb diet and that works for us. If you'd like to lower the naturally occurring sugar content in this drink, you can use less mango. You could also use some sparkling mango beverage.

    What is the History of the Mojito?

    The history and roots of the Mojito is unclear, but it's popularity has gained steadily over time and been a favorite of Ernest Hemingway, featured in a few films, and has been the continued classic cocktail of Cuba.

    Some stories state that the Mojito started as a medicinal drink to help curb disease and it has evolved over time to the drink we know and love today. It is traditionally made with white rum, lime, superfine sugar, and fresh mint, so those are the essential ingredients.

    Do I Have To Use Light Rum for this Mango Mojito Recipe?

    The answer basically in short is yes. You do! Light (white rum) has a mellow and smooth flavor that will accompany your drink very well. Dark rum would be too overpowering for this drink.
